Quinta dos Frades is one of the most beautiful and emblematic properties of the Douro Vinhateiro! Its records go back to the year 1256, when it was donated to the monastery of Santa Maria das Salzedas.
Quinta dos Frades, originally named Quinta da Folgosa, as it is referred to in the more ancient documents, is located in the parish of Folgosa, municipality of Armamar. Its earliest records date back to the thirteenth centuries, when it was donated to the monks of the Monastery of Santa Maria de Salzedas in 1256, as evidenced by the two Coats of Arms of the Autonomous Congregation of the Cistercians of Saint Bernard of Alcobaça that the estate possesses. It was one of the wealthiest and most productive farms of this Monastery.
The quality of the wine produced at Quinta dos Frades was recognised early on, with the property having been included in the Douro Demarcations, carried out between 1757 and 1761 by the Agricultural Company of the Upper Douro Wines.
