In the mid 1990s Celso de Lemos bought this beautiful vineyard in Silgueiros, close to his natal home, with the dream to create an exclusive wine from the Dao region. The Quinta is well hidden in the beautiful valley of the Dao, the oldest wine producing region in Portugal. Located near Viseu, the regional capital, full of charm and with a medieval heart, the Quinta is set on the plateau of Beira Alta at an altitude of 340 m. In this green haven in the centre of Portugal, the Quinta consists of 25 ha of vineyards, 3000 olive trees and beehives to produce the finest honey. The name de Lemos has its origin in the Iberian Peninsula. The family crest of four moons gathered in a circle symbolizes not only the four compass points explored by this Portuguese family, but similarly the four mountains protecting the Quinta de Lemos within the Dao valley, the four grape varietals used in Dao wines, and the Lemos family’s four core values of Humanity, Simplicity, Vision and Sharing. To honor its natal region, the de Lemos family has created one of the first truly luxurious wines from the Dao, made exclusively of the indigenous varieties.
