Portuguese term for a vineyard (or agricultural estate) consisting of vineyards and buildings, especially in the Douro valley. Some branded wines also have this attribute in their name. The name Quinta corresponds to the French terms Château or Domaine and the Italian Tenuta. A "Single Quinta Vintage Port" is a type of port wine whose wines come from a single vineyard.

For my many years of work as an editor with a wine and culinary focus, I always like to inform myself about special questions at Wine lexicon. Spontaneous reading and following links often leads to exciting discoveries in the wide world of wine.
