  • Description

    Tuke Holdsworth was the brand name of the old shipper Hunt Roope & Teage, the former owners of Quinta da Eira Velha. The company was sold to Ferreira in 1956 but the quinta was retained by the family and from that point it supplied wines to Martinez and Cockburn.

    Quinta da Eira Velha is one of the oldest estates in the Douro Valley. It is believed that vines have been cultivated at Eira Velha for over 600 years. The vineyard and buildings occupy a southeast-facing slope between 160 and 390 meters above the confluence of the Douro River with its tributary, the Pinhão River.

    In 1893 it was purchased by the prominent Port wine merchant Cabel Roope. The Roopes, in partnership with another English merchant family, the Newmans, were involved in the Newfoundland fisheries and the triangular trade of cod and Port wine, scenes of which are depicted in the tile murals in the Eira Velha winery.
