Quinta de la Rosa is a small estate in the heart of the Alto Douro, owned and operated by the Bergqvist family. It remains one of the few Single Quintas where the vineyards start at the bank of the Douro and rise 450 meters to the towering top of the mountain. La Rosa and Tim Berqgvist are special. In many ways they represent what the Douro is all about: pride, courage, tradition and the determination to produce the finest product in one of nature’s most difficult climactic conditions.
A tall, chilled glass of white Port and tonic will convey you magically to the sun-drenched, riparian terraces of the bucolic Quinta de la Rosa in no time at all. Rich and rounded, the slight sweetness works well (try adding chopped mint rather than orange or lemon) and is wonderfully refreshing. Equally, it is delicious on its own – but always with a bowl of salted almonds.

Quinta De La Rosa,
Drink now,
All our ports are made in the ‘house style’ namely slightly drier without any cloying sweetness that can be associated with some other ports. We also work hard making sure the brandy is well integrated. As with our wines, we search for harmony and equilibrium from our vineyards and we try to enable the grapes to express themselves in the bottle. The La Rosa style is to make well defined wines without too much extraction and tannin.
This 30 year old has a beautiful amber colour showing its age well. The long, slow maturation in old wooden pipes (550L barrels) has given this magnificent wine enormous elegance and complexity. On the nose, slightly dried fruit aromas with touches of balsamic vinegar, coffee and exotic wood are just some of its components. On the palate, it is simply delicious, almost light but with incredible intensity of flavour, soft, mouth filling with great persistence.

Quinta De La Rosa,
For laying down,
Quinta de la Rosa has beautiful terraced A–graded vineyards just behind Pinhão in the heart of the Cima Corgo. Over the last few years the wining team of owner Sophia Bergqvist and winemaker Jorge Moreira have maintained the Quinta’s reputation for elegance of style, whilst adding another dimension of gravitas, nowhere better illustrated than by the 2011 vintage. Indeed Sophia is convinced that it will be their best ever and the evidence from the glass is persuasive. The blend is dominated by equal shares of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca with a little Souzão (as they spell it here it seems) added for good measure. Crushed blueberry, dark cherry, cloves and spice all presage a wine of extraordinary quality and unprecedented capacity to age.

Quinta de La Rosa is a small estate in the heart of the Port wine-growing region in Alto Douro, near Pinhao, owned and operated by the Bergqvist family: Tim, his wife Patricia, son Philip and his two daughters, Sophia and Olivia, with the aid of the talented winemaker Jorge Moreira since 2002
The Quinta and its vineyards were given to Tim's mother as a Christening present by her parents, the Feurheerds, who established the property in 1906.
It remains one of the few Single Quintas where the vineyards start at the bank of the Douro and rise 450 meters to the towering top of the mountain. From the river's edge to the top, one passes through 11 different microclimates. This gives La Rosa great flexibility to add variety and complexity to its Port.
La Rosa and Tim Berqgvist are special. In many ways they represent what the Douro is all about... pride, courage, tradition, and the determination to produce the finest product from in one of natures' most difficult climactic conditions.
Quinta de la Rosa produces small quantities of superb quality Ports and red wine (Val da Clara Douro label)
