So Galura was bought and incorporated into Sao Luis. So is it now part of Sao Luiz, thus no longer Galura? Or is it still its own "demarcated" (to use the term) Quinta? I'm confused.
The total area has suffered the impact of two changes: on the one hand, the construction of the Bagaúste dam, with the consequent rise of the level of water, where a part of the area was lost; on the other hand, the area enlarged with the acquisition of several other properties situated in the same area, as Quinta da Mesquita 1972) Quinta da Lobata (1974) Quinta da Alegria (1982) Quinta da Galeira in 1987. Today, Quinta de S. Luiz cover 125 hectares of total area, which 90 hectares have, vineyards.

At a masterclass at the BFT in 2016, it was made known that Niepoort did not declare a VP in 2012, however the wine was in still fact made and bottled as for a VP as if it were to be declared (perhaps a late decision not to), and those bottles are being sold (or are to be sold) as a crusted (presumably "bottled 2014" TBC).

I've just added Quinta Maria Izabel to the list following the discovery of their website via a link on Facebook.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
