Vineyard – laboratories – Century house to be refurbished XVIII century – different registered wine and olive oil trademarks within the Douro for sale Strenghts and Weaknesses: -The Farms are situated in the “Douro Superior”, a sub region of the Douro with an unique micro climate. -Most of the world so much acclaimed and loved Douro Wines are produced in this region. -The Terroir and the climate are completely different than the rest of the Douro- thus offering a unique and distinct product -The infrastructure of the plant is very modem, -Portugal and in particular the Douro is being discovered in the world of wines. -Premium Qualities Ports are being rediscovered -Implementation of HACCP and ISO 22000 -The weakness lies in the marketing and distribution capacity Thoughts for the Future: At present the owners are only producing PremiumPorts, Reserva, LBV, and Vintage. Very shortly they will launch The Colheita. 2000, Other Ports, 10 years, 20 years and 30 years are in the near future. For the table wines, the owners market a standard Red and White Douro, and a Reserva Red wine. All with the own “Fam Label”. The owners plan to launch a second label for more current wines but not under the “Farm label”. In order to maximize the infrastructure and return, the owners have allocated a portion of the warehouse to store and produce Vinegar. At present they have 60.000 litres stored. The production, bottling and marketing is under review pending time, personnel and investment capacity from the owner.
