The stockage of eight million liters is being distributed by stainless steel vessels and glass coated cement vats durins the first two years and the last ageing stage... 3000 oak casks, with a measure that goes from 350 liters to 750 liters.

Although the Company does not owns any estate, the grapes are being thoroughly choosen since the very beginning.
Our Ports are internationally recognized for the high quality, specially when it comes to Colheita and White Ports.
Traditional grape growers to whom our Company has been buying the grapes during the last twenty five years have been a important bench mark.

Like all the Port Wine Companies, export represents the biggest slice of the annual income, around 90% of our sales goes to USA and Europe.

Today the desire to continue Mr. Clemente da Silva´s making tradition is a serious commitment.
