Wine runs in the veins of this direct descendant of Dona Antónia Ferreira, the Ferreirinha. João Brito e Cunha is one example of the new generation of winemakers and producers who have settled in the Douro and launched their own projects.
At the heart of this winegrower's passion lies Quinta de S. José, in the heart of the Douro Valley - Ervedosa do Douro.
Quinta de S. José is a family project that began in early 1999, driven by the desire of João's father, Ruy Brito e Cunha, due to the excellent location of the Quinta's houses, practically on the riverbank. The houses were restored, respecting their original layout and using materials typical of the Douro region.
In 2005, João Brito e Cunha bought the entire vineyard, woodland, and brand of Quinta de S. José from his family so that he could personally take over and dedicate himself to the project of producing and marketing wines under the Quinta de S. José brand. The Quinta has 10 hectares of vineyards and the property is located within the classified area of "Vale do Douro World Heritage Site".
