With a history spanning two centuries, Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo extends over 120 hectares of land, referenced since the first Pombaline demarcation in 1756.
Harmoniously integrated into one of the hills on the property is the original wine cellar, dating from 1764, and the 19th-century manor house with its chapel (1765).
Having been owned by the Portuguese Royal House until 1725, it became a "new estate" through the merging of two farms into one. During the 18th and 19th centuries, several Portuguese families lived here, bringing life to the vineyards and wine, the fruit orchards, the watermill next to the old olive grove, and the stream that crosses the estate, in an important period for agriculture in the Douro region.
