Quinta das Queimas 

Dão Region

Our symbol is based on an old wayside shrine, possibly of Celtic origin, located near our Quinta das Queimas.

Quinta das Queimas is a family project started in 2018 but based on a long agricultural and viticultural tradition in quintas around Santa Ovaia de Cima, Tondela. These quintas were recently inherited by the sisters Cristina and Graça Videira Lopes, and total around 30 hectares of vineyard and 10 hectares of woodland. Our project consists in preserving as much as possible the good traditional practices of sustainable viticulture, leading to the creation of authentic and varied wines that reflect the indominable spirit of the people and places of this region.

Our quintas are located in and around the village of Santa Ovaia de Cima, Tondela, near the Dinha river, with the Caramulo mountains on the background and the Estrela mountains on the horizon. In spite of their proximity, each quinta has its own characteristics and uniqueness. The diversity of the vineyards in our quintas is quite remarkable, not just in terms of grape varieties, but also kin terms of the age of the vines and the type of plantation; we have 100-year old vines, and vines that were just planted; we have large mono-varietal blocks, and old-style field blends.
