The quinta dates back to the beginning of the 18th century as property of the influential Castro and Sande family from São João da Pesqueira. In the following years, Carvalhas sees an exchange of proprietorship up until 1881 when it is bought by Migual de Sousa Guedes. As one of the most important Port bottlers of his time, Sousa Guedes, began a rescue program to replant the vineyards and reinstate the quinta’s reputation, after the philoxera ravages that left the estate in a truly decadant state.
