History
Quinta de la Rosa was given to Claire Feuerheerd as a christening gift in 1906 and has stayed in the same English-Portuguese family. For decades the estate sold grapes to major Port shippers. In 1988 Tim Bergqvist and his daughter Sophia relaunched it as an independent producer of Port and table wine. The working quinta now takes guests: 23 rooms, Cozinha da Clara, and La Rosa Brewing Co on the terrace above the Douro at Pinhão.
The setting
The quinta sits above the Douro at Pinhão, in the Cima Corgo, with vineyard paths down toward the river.
