They are believed to have the largest Arinto vineyard in the world, with 75 hectares of vineyard dedicated almost exclusively to the grape, planted on clay-limestone soils. The property was bought by the Guedes family in 2018, who have invested heavily in the estate, improving the viticulture and, as of 2023, putting the talented Luís Cabral de Almeida (of Herdade do Peso fame) in charge of winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuinta da Romeira has a remarkable history. During the Peninsula Wars, the Duke of Wellington used the estate as his headquarters, developed a taste for their wines and brought them home to London as an offering to King George IV.

Following fermentation, cold static decanting took place in stainless steel tanks and casks of French oak. The wine was aged for nine months in 225-litre, 500-litre, 1000-litre and 2000-litre French oak casks, which promote the wine's integration with the wood due to lees stirring. Bright lemon in colour with green hints. On the nose, intense notes of stone fruit, ripe lemon and candied orange peel are married with subtle floral notes and toasty nuances from the oak ageing. The palate is broad and textured, balanced by a refreshing acidity that carries the intense flavours onto a long, supple finish.
