Cellar

Located near the town of Bucelas, north of Lisbon, Quinta da Romeira dates back to the 17th century when it was owned by the Earl of Castelo Melhor, a prime minister of the Crown.

The estate was then absorbed into a much larger property, the Morgadio of Santa Catarina, bearing the name of and dedicated to King Charles II ‘s Portuguese wife, Catherine of Braganza. Bucelas white wine became famous during the Peninsular War in the early 19th century when Wellington used to ship it back home to the cellars of King George III. Nowadays the estate has preserved its heritage (manor house and chapel) and an 80 hectare vineyard was planted in the 1980s with the indigenous white variety Arinto de Bucelas.
