Casa Agrícola Horta Osório, S.A.





The Horta Osório Family cultivates the vineyard and produces its wine in the Demarcated Douro Region, the oldest

demarcated and regulated region in the world, since the eighteenth century, being the oldest wine provider for a well-known

Port Wine producer in the Region.

In 1942, at only 11 years of age, the current owner, José António Horta Osório, planted the main vineyard at the “Quinta”

property. He always maintained a close relationship with the vineyards, his great passion. After several decades with a

professional and business career in the energy area, Jose António Horta Osório also decided to focus his attention on this wine

project. In 2008, he began the profound remodelling of the vineyard, expanding it with more land acquisitions, building the

“Quinta” resulting in the “Quinta dos Osórios”, with 40 hectares.

The production, that until 2009 was distributed to wine cellars of the region, from the harvest of 2010 on, started the

production of "Colheita 2010" the _rst wine of the “Quinta” to be bottled and distributed by Casa Agrícola Horta Osório, S.A.

under the brand name H.O.__Horta Osório Wines.

In 2012, José António Horta Osório, built from scratch a new winery at his main “Quinta”. Equipped with the most modern

winemaking technology, with an architecture of election that privileges local materials, namely shale, and its integration in

the landscape. Built at the top of the mountain which integrates the “Quinta”, the winery enjoys a stunning view over the Valley

“Serra do Marão” to the west and the Corgo River to the east.

Products description

The H. O. - Horta Osório wines come exclusively from grapes grown on the Quintas property in Casa Agricola Horta Osório where, other than the old vines, new vines were planted with the best traditional grape varieties of Douro, in unique terroirs.

          The grapes are harvested when they present a perfect phenolic maturity which usually occurs in the fourth week of September. The entire harvest process is done manually which allows careful selection. The grapes are transported from the vine to the winery in small 20 kg containers to ensure the grapes are in perfect condition when they arrive at the winery. The fermentation process is carefully monitored and kept at a controlled temperature. 
          All of these steps are taken to ensure the highest quality of wine.

          For white wines production, the grapes are kept in a refrigerator before the crushing process.
