<h3 style="text-align:justify;"><span class="tm6">The QUINTA DA PACHECA, one of the best known properties of the Douro, stands out for the fact that it was the first to bottle wines with its own brand. It is in a document dated April 17, 1738 that for the first time reference is made to the Fifth called "da Pacheca" for being its owner D. Mariana Pacheco Pereira. But it was only in 1903 that D. José Freire de Serpa Pimentel decided to develop his growing interest in oenology, buying the property in order to devote himself to wine production. Today, a century ago, the new generation of Serpa Pimentel takes over the management of the Farm: Maria, Catarina and José are the young faces of this company of a markedly familiar nature.</span></h3> <p></p> <p></p>
