MESSIAS PORTO RUBY

In the heart of the Douro Valley, where the sun kisses the slopes and the River Douro winds through ancient vineyards, a story of passion and legacy unfolds. This is the tale of Messias, a family-owned winery with roots stretching back to 1926, where every bottle carries the essence of history and craftsmanship.

Among their treasures is a youthful, vibrant Port—a wine with a character as fresh as the valley air. On the nose, it’s a delightful bouquet of red fruits, bursting with energy and promise. The first sip reveals a lively, fruity charm, balanced by a smooth, approachable structure. The finish lingers, gentle and satisfying, making it the perfect companion for winding down after dinner.

The Messias family’s most famous estate, Quinta do Cachão, sits in the renowned subregion of Cima Corgo. Its vineyards, first planted in 1845, were once the vision of the Baron Pebble Sendomais before changing hands to the Afonso Cabral family and finally becoming part of the Messias legacy in 1956. To expand their dream, the family acquired Quinta do Rei from the legendary Gonzalez Byass, merging tradition and ambition into a seamless story of excellence.

Today, Messias is celebrated for its colheita and vintage ports, but it’s this young, fruity gem that captures the essence of their journey—a lively, aromatic reminder that every great story starts with a single, fresh chapter.
