Quinta do Convento de Nossa Senhora da Visitação

Vinhos CortémSituated in the Estramadura (Lisboa Wines) in the DOC Obidos region, the vineyards are set in Hilly country near to Caldas da Rainha, The climate is temperate to cool, with a strong maritime influence and summer temperatures seldom above 30 degrees. Late harvests lead to well structured wines with natural acidity but sometines high alcohol content. Our vines were planted between 2000 and 2005 on cleared fields previosly unused for 30 years and have been grown organically fromm the beginning leading to full certification in 2010. Grapes and wines of this vintage and beyond are organically certified. Cortém has a very distinctive microclimate which has prompted some people to say that this is not the best place to make red wine. What they mean is that it is not hot enough. But there again the taste of our wines tell a different story. In this area our maritime climate is much cooler and has an increased rainfall each year making irrigation unnecessary. At night there are often cold sea breezes and fog, even in the summer months. Vines enjoy this cool night air as a contrast to the heat of the day. Our harvest is late compared with the southern part of Portugal and we may have to wait till the middle of October for the last grapes to ripen. At this time the weather can bring rain which if it persists can ruin the grapes, but we have to wait. We harvest each lot according to ripeness, The first to come in is the Jean and the Pinot Noir and the last is the Syrah, taking us well into the second week in October. The vineyards are situated in a protected valley where the predominant agriculture now is fruit growing. There are no public roads or houses in the valley which makes for a very clean and tranquil environment. Next to the valley there are several sq Km of forest and a large population of wild pig which come down to the vineyards at night! The soil is predominantly alluvial sandy clay but varies from field to field as the geology of the area.

Quinta de Sant'AnaQuinta de Sant’Ana, just northwest of Lisbon, is a small family run vineyard: national varieties thrive amid some carefully chosen international grape varieties. Touriga Nacional, Aragonez, Merlot, Pinot Noir ripen well in our moderate climate and result in deliciously elegant and complex reds. Our white varieties are Fernão Pires, Verdelho, Alvarinho, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc: our style is “cool climate” and our aim is to produce fresh, mineral gastronomic wines with great texture and a lengthy finish. Our wines are complemented by regional culinary treats, turning a visit to our winery into an interesting and entertaining treat.

Quinta da MurtaBucelas, called the prince of Portuguese wine, is the most famous dry white wine of Portugal, where Arinto variety of grapes has been cultivated and developed by the Romans for more than 2 000 years. It was in fact the only white wine in Portugal during many centuries, the wines of discovers (because you could keep long time), the wine of Portuguese kings, the wines of the British royal court. Portuguese sailors of the Vasco de Gama’s flagship Sao Gabriel celebrated their return to Portugal after having discovered the sea route to the Indies by enjoying Bucelas wine. During Shakespeare time, Bucelas wine became very popular with the British royal court as well throughout England. The wine called ”charneco”, named after a small village in Bucelas, is mentioned in Sharkespeare’s Henry the VI play, part 2, writen in 1594. The Duke of Wellington spent most of his time during the Peninsular war in Bucelas, from where he used to offer Bucelas wine to king George III on his visits to England, to be used by the king as daily medicinal wine. Quinta da Murta, an estate, located in the hills of the very small demarcated region of Bucelas, is surrounded by one of the main Roman road crossing Portugal and next to the last northern Anglo-Portuguese fortification against the troops of Napoleon. Myrtle, or Murta in Portuguese, is the most sacred aromatic plant in the Judeo-Christian culture, it is also the Venus of all berries, the goddess beauty for the ancient Greek.

Casa Santos Lima - Companhia Das Vinhas, S.A.Casa Santos Lima was created to ensure the continuous development of Santos Lima’s wine producing activity created several generations ago. This activity was first started by Joaquim Santos Lima, who, by the turn of 19th century, was already a great producer and exporter of Portuguese wines. Maria João Santos Lima and José Luís Santos Lima Oliveira da Silva, granddaughter and great grandson of the founder, relaunched Casa Santos Lima in 1990, replanting most of the vines, improving agricultural techniques and modernizing all its productive structure.

Wine Ventures - Quinta da Romeira, SAQuinta da Romeira is located in the heart of one of the oldest export wine regions, and the only DOC exclusive for white wines. Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, the Military genius behind the defense of the Peninsula against Napoleon, was himself surprised by the white wines of Bucelas, when he was in the region for the construction of the Lines of Torres Vedras. As a token of that appreciation, he sent them to the Prince of Wales. Jorge IV did enjoy them and start to call them Wines of Lisbon. The 3rd Earl of Castelo Melhor also sent the best to England and, in honor of Catarina de Bragança, Queen of England, created in Bucelas the “Morgado de Santa Catherina”, which has inspired our top of the range Wine. Quinta da Romeira exists since 1703 and has received important guests like the Duke of Wellington and also Marquês de Pombal and his family, famous for his support of Wine and Exports - a good friend of Bucelas white wines.
