The origins of Feuerheerd's port house
Port House Feuerheerd's was founded in 1815 by the German Dietrich Matthias Feuerheerd. In 1926, it was sold to the Barros family, after which the house became renowned over the years for the quality of its wines. Its Vintage Port, in particular, stood head and shoulders above the rest. Today, one of the most famous families in the Port region is at the helm: the Van Zeller family. The Van Zeller family is one of the most well-known families in the port region and owns several renowned port houses, including Feuerheerds and Quinta Roriz. This family settled around Nijmegen and Mechelen, where they owned several buildings. During the Eighty Years' War, the family emigrated from the north to Portugal. Around this time, they invested in winemaking, particularly Port, which was a popular drink at the time. Today, they are one of the best-known families in the Port region and own several renowned Port houses.
