Quinta de la Rosa has been part of the Bergqvist family since 1906, although it has been involved in port shipping activities under the family name Feueheerd since 1815. Currently, it owns approximately 55 hectares of vineyards and produces around 80,000 liters of port and 300,000 liters of table wine each year.

Quinta de la Rosa was given as a christening gift to Claire Feueheerd, Sophia's grandmother, in 1906. Claire's father, Albert, ran the family shipping company Feueheerds. Albert was a true pioneer and was one of the first shippers to manufacture 'Single Quinta' port from La Rosa grapes. He was responsible for building the vineyards of the Inferno Valley with some of the tallest and most impressive walls in the Douro. He also built a winery with 8 lagares (traditional wine presses) and began buying grapes from local producers and making port at La Rosa. This allowed Albert to maintain quality in production. At this time, most ports were made by small farmers in their own mills.

Unfortunately, Albert faced difficulties due to the Depression and the company, Feueheerds, which was sold in the 1930s to Barros. However, Quinta de la Rosa remained in the family and was managed by Sophia's grandmother, Claire. Claire only cultivated grapes and sold them to Crofts and later to enter the Sandeman Rebello Valente port. In 1988, Sophia and her father, Tim Bergqvist, decided to restart the family business and launched Quinta de la Rosa as a high-quality port producer on the market.

From the early 1990s, the Bergqvist family was one of the pioneers in taking red wine production seriously in the Douro region. The wines of Quinta de la Rosa, both red and white, have garnered much praise in the press and are sold in many prestigious restaurants and wine shops worldwide.
