Main Products
Port wines:
- 10 year old Tawny: This is a traditional Quinta Port, made in limited amounts, vinified in the wine press, aged in the Douro and kept in wood until the date of bottling. The talent in the creation of this wine is in the subtle marriage of different harvests to achieve a harmonious balance.
- White Port: This is made from traditional Douro grape varieties, notably Viosinho, Malvasia fina and Códega. The grapes are harvested from late September and vinified in presses, with tanning and treading by foot. With a golden colour, elegant and with aromas of tropical fruit, it is a very agreeable sweet wine.
- Ruby Port: This Port shows a great structure with intense aromas of fresh fruit and soft tannins. Soft and round in the mouth, ready to drink now or over the coming years
DOC Wines:
- Douro White Selection: Wine made with Malvasia Fina, Viosinho and Rabigato grape varieties. Vinified in stainless steel vats with temperature control at 15ºC, the rest is then left to ferment in new 225 litre French oak casks, with stirring, for another three months.
- DOC Douro Red 2010: A wine that expresses all its truthfulness; made from Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca and Tinta Amarela, this is a wine in which balance is a constant challenge.
- DOC Douro Red Reserva 2009: This red wine is made from grapes from vines over 60 years old. It is a ruby coloured wine, with a deep aroma of red fruits, where French oak fits in in perfect harmony, giving it a great complexity.
- DOC Douro Red Grande Reserva 2009: A wine designed with considerable rigour in the selection of the best batches of the year, where the hand of man, combined with excellent production conditions, produces a wine of great aromatic character in the mouth, rich and dense, with marked notes of fine toast from the barrel, which indicates its high potential for aging. A wine you will not forget.

Presentation
Quinta da Casa Amarela is a family business located on the left bank of the River Douro, halfway between the towns of Régua and Lamego, in the heart of the oldest Demarcated Wine Region in the world - the DOURO, in the stretch classified by UNESCO as World Heritage. It has been in the same family since 1885. The manor house, rebuilt and extended in the early years of the 20th century, lends its name to the property because it is painted yellow (Amarela).
The Quinta continues in the age-old tradition of the region, in the art of producing fine Port Wine and Douro Label of Quality wine. The tradition is, in fact, preserved at the Quinta. It starts in the vines themselves, which are on average more than 45 years old, planted on terraces supported by stone walls, following the contours of the land.
For Port Wine, the wine is taken from the press and placed in chestnut casks, where fermentation is interrupted by the addition of brandy, and aged naturally over the years. The "Quinta da Casa Amarela 10 Year Old Tawny Port" was launched in 1994 and its quality has earned it various international awards, including several gold medals.
Besides the 10 Year Old Port, the Quinta also produces a Reserve Ruby Port and a White Port. It can accommodate up to 50 visitors, and QCA receives around 2,000 people per year. In 2006 the Quinta was awarded the national "Wine Tourism of the Year" Award of Excellence from the magazine "Revista de Vinhos".
