"Each man has their dream" Luis Pato The dream of the son of Francisco Ferreira (Popa) was held by acquiring a vineyard in Douro, in one of the best locations in the oldest wine region in the world, in which reside all his childhood memories. After its purchase, in 2003, at the time named as "Quinta do Vidiedo", led all his economic effort, dedication and perseverance adding small parcels, mostly old vineyards and others for planting new vineyards and groves, equally blessed by a soil quality and raised in terraces under the splendor of the Douro river. In 2008 this dreamer, with the support of his family and the oenologist Luis Pato, start a new cycle and pays tribute to his deceased father baptizing the vineyard with his nickname "Popa",attributed by his friends due to the liveliness and happiness which he led the life against the difficulties. Today, the Quinta do Popa comprises 14 hectares of vineyard composed of a mixture of noble grape varieties, all with the letter A, among them Tinta Roriz, followed by Touriga Franca, Tinto Cao, Sousao and Malvasia Preta with emphasis in large percentage of Touriga Nacional, apart from three hectares of old vineyards aged over 60 years of age. A project based on a family structure that connects different generations, which is reflected in the actual production process, in which reconcile the most sophisticated techniques with centuries of strict tradition, such as the vinification through foot treading in granite mills with conditions of temperature control, and in building a brand with personality and quality, created by its history and the harmonious marriage between the earth and its atmosphere that terroir has to offer.
