Christie's Port Wine Producer and Shipper
Portugal, Vila Nova de Gaia
About
Stephen Andrew Frederick Christie, born in France from a Scottish father and a Belgium mother, arrived in Portugal back in 1979, at the age of 23, after a couple of years in the London Finance area, and bought the Gonzales Byass Port wine business. The Butler Nephew brand, which history goes way back, was already in the Gonzales Byass portfolio. It is now in the portfolio of Christie's Port Wine Producer and Shipper, only for Port Wine. We are using the grapes of Quinta Dona Mafalda to produce Port wine, up to the equivalent of some 14.000 bottles per year. The rest of the Butler Nephew production comes from selected grapes of small Douro “A” farmers, with whom Mr. Christie has worked since many years. We are using the balance of the production of Dona Mafalda in still wines from the Douro (Doc) and launched in 2016, for the very first time, the Quinta Dona Mafalda Old Vines (around 4.000 bottles), Estate bottled in this family owned winery.
