Quinta Vale D. Maria is one of the oldest estates in the Douro region, dating back to 1868. However, it was only in 1996, under the guidance of Cristiano Van Zeller, that the wines began to gain importance and recognition. The Francisca Vineyard was planted in 2004 with a blend of Douro grape varieties and has since conquered the market.
