Our story
For Horácio
This family project is dedicated to Horácio, who should have been the first to taste our wines! May it reflect his devotion to the Dão, which he shared with us and whose legacy we wish to honour.
His love of Dão wines, above all the Encruzado-based whites, is the main reason for the vineyard we planted here at our Quinta D’Avelã.
Only the precious and friendly help of our renowned winemaker Mafalda Perdigão, and the care of our friend João Santos, made the dream come true and allowed our wines to reach your hands!
