Quinta do Ferro was a pioneer in its founding, being the first winery in the region to be built and designed from the ground up to produce sparkling wine. Founded in 1999, it is a family project located on the right bank of the Douro River in Gestaçô Baião, a sub-region of the Vinho Verde region, and bordering the Douro region, also known as ""Douro Verde"". In 2022, Bruno Ribeiro & Eugénio de Sousa Lda. takes control of Quinta do Ferro, continuing the project and creating the brand Coroa do Ferro.
At Quinta do Ferro, the focus has been on native grape varieties, producing only Portuguese grapes. These include Avesso, a native grape of Gestaçô Baião, a unique and original white grape with a strong and complex personality; Arinto, a white grape planted throughout the country, aromatic, fresh, with good acidity and minerality; and finally, a grape often misunderstood, vinhão, a red and teinturier grape, with a strong character, mainly planted in the northern part of the country, which, due to the characteristics of the Quinta's terroir, loses its typical roughness and gains elegance and smoothness.
The two main vineyards have a special microclimate and are on granitic soil, which gives them minerality, salinity, and a vegetal touch. One vineyard is located at almost 400 meters above sea level, known as the riverside vineyard; the other is at over 600 meters above sea level, considered the mountain vineyard. This is the main vineyard, the mountain one, and it is from here that the grapes for the sparkling wine are harvested.
Quinta do Ferro has received awards nationally and internationally and has received good reviews from major opinion makers worldwide, such as Robert Parker and Sarah Ahmed.

You're Overpaying for French Wine Because You Don't Know About Portugal
Here's what other wine producing countries don't want you to know:
Portugal makes wines just as good, sometimes better, for half the price. Everyone’s been trained to worship the same names: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Napa, Tuscany. But here’s the uncomfortable truth those wine giants don’t want you to hear:
Portugal is making wines just as exceptional, and often better, for a fraction of the price.
And no, this isn’t a budget alternative. It’s a massive blind spot in the wine world. While the rest of the planet keeps pumping out the same 12 internationally famous grape varieties - Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay - Portugal has been doing something radically different.
They’ve quietly preserved more than 250 indigenous grapes you can’t find anywhere else on Earth.
Not copies. Not variations. Completely unique varieties with flavours, aromas, and textures you’ve literally never tasted before.
That £80 Cabernet you just splurged on? Portugal has wines made from grapes you’ve never even heard of… and they’ll absolutely stun you, for £20–£30.
Imagine discovering flavours that feel familiar and completely new.
Imagine drinking wine that feels like a secret... because hardly anyone else knows about it yet.

On the day of delivery, APC will send a notification confirming your parcel is out for delivery.

- Rearranging the delivery date

Please note that deliveries are made throughout the day. We recommend choosing a delivery address where someone is likely to be available to receive the order.
You will receive advance notification from the courier confirming your delivery date, followed by a delivery window on the day itself. This allows you to plan accordingly or rearrange the delivery if needed.
If you are not usually at home during the day, you may wish to use an alternative address, such as your workplace, a family member’s home or a trusted neighbour.
