About us
With vineyards in the Neto family for three generations, Quinta da Lagoa Velha was officially founded in 1969, producing and selling wine in bulk. In 2001, Carla Neto took over the leadership of the project and began selling her own wines under the Quinta da Lagoa Velha name and image.
In 2018, Quinta da Lagoa Velha underwent a complete rebranding and relaunch. In 2020, the winery’s facilities and equipment were renovated, together with its working methods. Year after year the wines have visibly improved, the result of constant innovation and refinement in viticulture and winemaking, earning several national and international distinctions.
Always preserving its history and tradition, Quinta da Lagoa Velha seeks to establish itself as a producer of singular wines with a true identity in the Bairrada region — driven by a young team at the heart of the company, investing in development and continuous improvement for future generations.

Recently remodelled, our winery is now divided into two distinct areas.
One with traditional lagares, used to vinify our reds, cement vats for fermenting and storing white wines, and a barrel room where we hold our tastings. The other, more recent, has stainless steel tanks for fermenting whites. All tanks and lagares are connected to a temperature control system, so that every vinification takes place with the utmost care.
We also have our own laboratory, where we regularly carry out analytical control of all our wines, and a storage and finishing area, where we label and prepare the wines for shipping.
