About Us
Back to roots
The project Quinta do Mourão starts when Mário Braga decides to come back to his origins by acquiring 5 estates in the Douro Valley. Originally from Vila Nova de Gaia, a connection to Port Wine has ineluctably been generated.
On the other hand, he connected with Douro by marrying his wife whose grandfather was from Moncorvo, Douro. According to those connections, both wine and region, it was no surprise when in 1972 Mário Braga acquired Quinta do Mourão together with 4 other estates in the Douro.
And so a great family project was born, a project that would last and grow through the following generations.

Between Tradition and Innovation
Today, the project lies on the shoulders of the following generation, and is already in its 3rd generation. Miguel Braga, the second generation was only 10 when his father started it. And so he would spend most of his childhood in this beautiful region, for which he had always felt a great attraction.
That's why, after his father passed away, with no hesitation, Miguel decided to continue the work previously initiated and make it grow. Rita represents family’s 3rd generation and she is the responsible for developing new markets, new commercial approaches and social media marketing.
Today, Quinta do Mourão, has 14 people working together on modernization and sustainability of the project, always focused on increasing the quality of the wines but still following the Tradition.
Our wines are already present in 3 Continents - Europe, America and Asia, and the international commercial strategy has grown year on year, as well as the renown of our brand, associated with its the quality and prestige.
