Grapes: Touriga Nacional , Touriga Franca , Tinta Roriz & Tinta Barroca
The Quinta consists for the half of old walled terraces, and the newer part is formed by modern patamares. Exceptional to other Port companies, Quinta do Infantado has always used as few pesticides as possible. Keeping the weeds free is done in an environmentally friendly way. The vineyard is divided into two parts. Barreiro, is organic and the Serra, where the vintage Ports are made
