Wine has been produced on this estate, for over 130 years, but it was at the start of the new millennium that Júlio Bastos started his new project, Dona Maria Wines.
The ancient estate winery was restored and extended, equipped with the best and most modern technology, whilst keeping the famous "lagares” where selected grapes are vinified using the traditional foot treading method.
Nowadays, the winery produces 260.000 bottles, divided into three different ranges, the "Dona Maria” Range, the "Amantis Range” and the "Julio B. Bastos” range.
The objective is to reach a total annual production of 500.000 bottles of top quality wines.
