1738

The wine estate was first mentioned in a document dated April 1738 where it’s referred as “Pacheca”, a girlish Pacheco form used due to the fact that it was property of D. Mariana Pacheco Pereira, an imponent woman that ran the property by herself. However, the history of the property dates back to the XVI century when it was owned by the important Portuguese Patrimony of the Monastery of Salzedas that belongs to the Catholic religious Order of Cistercians.

1903

This property was acquired by D. José Freire de Serpa Leitão Pimentel, in September 1903. The new owner carried out the first major replanting of QUINTA DA PACHECA, dividing the vineyards by grape varieties, separated by wide paths to facilitate the work. The grape varieties then used were: Bastardo, Tinto Cão, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca for reds, and Códega, Malvasia Fina, Malvasia Corada, Cerceal, Donzelinho and Viosinho for white

1971

The second big boost was given by D. Eduardo Mendia Freire Serpa Pimentel, who replaced the older vineyards and started selling table wines. For several years, Riesling, Sauvignon and Gewurztraminer were tested. In 1971, 5000 vines from each of these varieties were grafted.
