Caves da Cerca were born at the beginning of the 20th century from the personal project of Albano de Carvalho Sardoeira, owner of several vineyard plots in the municipality of Amarante. Graduated in physical-chemical sciences, he decides to produce the wine resulting from the production of his farms, building a small cellar on his property where he has an 18th century house – Casa da Cerca. In 1946, he registered the brand with the same name, which he adopted for the name of the winery and would later inspire the company's corporate name.
Its “Casa da Cerca” wines and spirits quickly gain prestige and notoriety and even win prizes at local, national and even overseas exhibitions and fairs. With the success of its products, it begins to increase production capacity through the expansion of the cellar. Needing more financial capacity for the accelerated development of the business, in 1957 he seeks support and in that year the company “Caves da Cerca” is registered, having as main partners the founder and partners of the company “Mota e Companhia”. Over the years, the structure of society has undergone some changes, while maintaining the family nature that was present in its origin.
Since its foundation, the company has developed through the production of quality Vinhos Verdes and has also gained prestige for its brands of “Aguardente Velha”.
In 2002, Caves da Cerca started a project in São João da Pesqueira (Demarcated Region of the Douro) with the objective of producing DOC Douro wines and also the production of Port Wine. As part of this project, it built a new winery at “Quinta do Cercal” and also acquired some properties with grape production in the municipalities of Sabrosa and Tabuaço.
