One of the Douro’s oldest named wine estates — first documented in April 1738 and named after D. Mariana Pacheco Pereira — with around 75 hectares at Cambres, near Lamego. Owned since 2012 by Paulo Pereira and Maria do Céu Gonçalves, Pacheca pairs Douro DOC and Port production with the Wine House Hotel and its famous wine-barrel suites, and holds Systembolaget listings including Pacheca Pink Port (art. 7196901).
Pacheca’s documented Nordic channel is Sweden’s Systembolaget, where the estate’s wines carry article numbers including the Pacheca Pink Port (art. 7196901) and art. 7958001. A monopoly listing is the gatekeeper channel for essentially all retail wine in Sweden, and rosé Port is one of the category’s few genuine novelties — a niche where a Douro estate with a strong consumer brand can hold shelf space against far larger houses.
The estate itself is one of the Douro’s most recognisable: first documented in April 1738 under the name of D. Mariana Pacheco Pereira, acquired in 2012 by Paulo Pereira and Maria do Céu Gonçalves, and developed into a reference for wine tourism — the Wine House Hotel and its ten wine-barrel suites, opened in 2018, won the “Best Development” award at the Lisbon Real Estate Show within months and remain among the most photographed hotel rooms in Portugal.
Pacheca shows the twin engines of Douro internationalisation working together: monopoly listings that produce steady Nordic retail revenue, and destination wine tourism that turns Scandinavian visitors into brand ambassadors after they fly home.
