The story behind Quinta Ferreira

Quinta Ferreira is a Portuguese-Canadian family estate on the Black Sage Bench near Oliver. John and Maria Ferreira came to Canada from Portugal and bought the land in 1979, first as a fruit orchard of cherries and peaches.

After about twenty years growing tree fruit, they replanted to grapes in 1999. The name says it plainly: quinta is Portuguese for a family wine estate.

Old-world roots, desert bench fruit

The family brought a Portuguese winemaking tradition to one of the warmest, sandiest sites in the country. That heat suits big Bordeaux grapes, and the estate leans into Merlot, Syrah, and blends.

The flagship is Obra Prima, a Bordeaux-style blend that took Double Gold at the All Canadian Wine Championships in 2013. It stays a small, hands-on family operation.
