Dreaming of creating a unique wine, Celso de Lemos bought 25 hectares of vineyards surrounded by beautiful olive groves and woods in Silgueiros in 1997, supported from the start by the creative spirit of oenologist Hugo Chaves and the warm, commercial personality of Pierre de Lemos.
Nestled in the sandy and granite valley of the Dão, the oldest wine-producing region of Portugal, Quinta de Lemos is located on a plateau at an altitude of 340 meters. The sign of the Lemos family, 4 crescents grouped in a circle, stands for the 4 directions in which this Portuguese family explores the world, the 4 mountains surrounding the Quinta, the 4 main local wine varieties grown there and the philosophy of life, also based on 4 words: humanity, simplicity, vision and sharing.
The ultimate goal is to produce a wine of the highest quality & of the endogenous grape varieties: balanced and distinct, reinforcing the charisma of the Dão in a way that combines tradition and modernity, linking technology and nature together.
Annually, the Quinta de Lemos presents different blends, as classic Dao wines , in addition to the various mono-varietal wines expressing the characteristics of each grape: Jaen, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Alfrocheiro.
