Owners of Quinta de Covela, the Tecederias brand and producers of Tormes at the Eça de Queiroz Foundation, the Lima Smith partnership was founded by Brazilian Marcelo Lima and Briton Tony Smith. Both are passionate about the wines produced along the Douro Valley and are firm in their belief of the growing potential of top-quality Portuguese wines in world markets. Maintaining the philosophy of boutique production, Lima Smith makes unique wines with strong Portuguese roots but also an inherent capacity for internationalization.
