Dao - Quinta dos Roques

Located between Mangualde and Nelas, in the place of Abrunhosado Mato, Quinta dos Roques is well the example of the spirit with which the new Dãois being built. From the early Roques, more than a century ago, the vine and wine are part of the daily life of this family, although for a long time the production satisfied little more than the consumption needs of the house.

After choosing the best places with granitic and, at times, schistose soils, in gentle southern facing slopes, the best traditional grape varieties of the region were planted following the most advanced techniques. A new winery was then built, combining the modern with the traditional, the science and technology with art.

Side by side, in perfect symbiosis, electronic presses appeared alongside granite “lagares”, stainless steel vats with oak barrels, cold systems with underground cellars. And the very first produced wines immediately showed that everything was on the right path.

Currently Quinta dos Roques has 40 hectares of modern vineyards, which are distinguished from the others by the rationality of the systems of conduction and by the quality of the grapes produced.

The wine production, with a tendency to increase, is around one 150 thousand liters, of which 10 thousand are natural sparkling wines. The wines are marketed under the designation Quinta dos Roques and Quinta do Correio.

Quinta dos Roques has grown enormously in the last two decades and without doubt one of the best and most dynamic in the Dão. They create mono-cepages and blends of absolute class, combining old with modern techniques. The wines from the Dão are known for their perfect balance of fruit and sour which is clearly reflected in their top wines

The wines of Quinta dos Roques are immediately recognizable by the strikingly colored capsules and the label design
