Does anyone know anything about Quinta do Bucheiro? I came across a ruby port from this Quinta today, but the Quinta is one I've not heard of before. Thanks.

I searched Google and found:

1. Multiple instances of a link that goes to a website that doesn't appear to exist.

2. Quinta do Bucheira make a house port for Selwyn College

3. The ISO standard abbreviation for Quinta do Bucheira is "Bu".

Iknow a little

I visti the quinta in Sept.2011 It`s located in the little village Celeiros -(same place as Quinta do Portal)
The first vintage they ever made by them self, is Vintage 2005, then they have 10 and 20 y - ruby, tawny, ... looke at the website http://www.quintadobucheiro.pt/

It very difficult to find, only a little sign at the road, about 1 km from the quinta. NO sign at the wall on the quinta - buy som local people helped us.

Thanks. I appreciate the information.

It seems the Quinta might have links with Oxford and Cambridge in some way. As well as providing the house port for Selwyn college, Cambridge, I have also discovered that they supply the house Port to Christ Church, Oxford.

I'd have thought it more likely that the link is between Russel Mellor (as importer/merchant) and the colleges rather than with the Quinta direct.

That seems very likely. I wonder what the back-story is; how Russell Mellor discovered Quinta do Bucheiro?

Never mind. I now have a bottle of College Ruby port - expect to see a tasting note appear in due course.

Value for money - standard tawny - exelent, super, thumbs up

Worst.... LBV 94 - didnt like it, no fruit, light in color . no taste

I’m glad to see the quality of the house Port at Selwyn has gone up since my day (I think it was the conventional custom-label Quinta and Vineyard Bottlers); though it does seem a shame that it appears that they are just ordering the bottles through an English wine merchant and having them relabelled here. Or, that’s what I assume they are doing, since I don’t think the IVDP would let you export a ‟Fine Old Wood Port”.
