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.

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.

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”.
