The property came to the Barros family in 1927, by the hands of Manoel Moreira de Barros, the great wine entrepreneur who founded the Barros Wine Group. Manoel Moreira de Barros transformed the quinta by planting new vineyards, renovating the house and building extensive gardens, among other projects.
Dona Matilde has always had the reputation for good wines despite being hard vineyards to work. The project Quinta Dona Matilde was born in 2007 but with the same terroir and knowledge of past generations.
