Later in 1756, Frei João de Mansilha played a very important role in the demarcation of the Douro and its implementation. Drinking a glass of Quinta Do Portal Ports is drinking through the history of a region. Their Port wines are elegant, fresh, approachable and really pleasant wines.

Today, covering 46 hectares, their vines occupy an extraordinary range of superior terroirs along the three river valleys of Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, expressing the individuality and personality of these unique terroirs as effectively and tangibly as possible.
The “Goldtröpfchen” rocky vineyard from which this amazing Mosel Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling is born, literally means “gold drop”, and never a name was more suitable, because the wine in question is really a golden jewel, with incredible aromas of hydrocarbons typical of Riesling, enriched with fruity notes and aromatic herbs. The vineyard is located above the romantic wine village of Piesport, in a cove near the Moselle, with an amphitheater opening to the south. All these characteristics create an excellent wine, with a long, extremely seductive mineral texture.
