Casa de Santa Eufémia
Located upstream from the river Corgo, in the subzone known as Cima (Higher) Corgo, sits Casa de Santa Eufémia a grower Port estate. An anomaly in a region where most producers source their grapes, Casa de Santa Eufémia was founded in 1894 by Bemardo Rodrigues de Carvalho, on the left bank of the Douro, in one of the oldest demarcated wine regions in the world. Growing grapes and producing port since then, it wasn’t until 1986 when Portugal joined the EU, that Casa de Santa Eufémia could legally vinify, bottle and sell or export the wine that it had been making for years.
