DESCRIPTION
The Quinta is called dos Poços (of the Wells) after the multiple water springs that sprout from its soil when the rainfall in the region is intense. It was also suggested that its name is because it is located in front of the point 130 or Point of Puddles described by Baron of Forrester on his map "O Douro Portuguez e Paiz Adjacente" in 1848.
