Messias Porto

The Portuguese winery Messias Porto was founded in 1926 by Messias Baptista in Quinta do Cachão. Baptista remained managing director until 1973; the winery has been family-owned ever since. The vineyards are located in the immediate vicinity of the Rio Douro and make up a total vineyard area of over 350 hectares. Various red and white grape varieties are grown on the soils, which consist mainly of slate, to be processed into high-quality wines. Red grape varieties include Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Baga or Touriga Nacional, while white grape varieties include varieties such as Loureiro, Arinto or Trajadura. In addition to classic wines, Messias Porto also offers port and sparkling wines.
