Premium Portuguese Wines

Quinta do Monte d'Oiro

Located in the Lisbon region, Quinta do Monte d’Oiro has been a reference since the 17th century in the production of notable wines.

Acquired in 1986

José Bento dos Santos, gastronomic connaisseur, acquired the estate in 1986 having in mind to produce wines with exquisite gastronomic sense, that accompany in perfect harmony dishes of genuine regional cuisine

High-quality wines

After many years, studying the terroir and climate, the grapes that best adapted to it were planted to produce high-quality wines, in the European style

20Km from the Sea

Located 50 km north of the Portuguese capital, nestled between the Montejunto mountains and 20 kilometres from the Atlantic ocean

Organic Farming

The vineyard is 100% organic (PT-BIO-08), with respect for the whole environment and biodiversity, focussing on alive soils and very low production yields

Since the first harvest, in 1997, wines of great quality with national and international prestige have been produced

Since 2012, José has begun to hand over the winery to his son Francisco taking the management lead of the winery

The winemaking team is led by Graça Gonçalves and since 2006 has also benefited from the consultancy and expertise of Grégory Viennois

The vineyard comprises 10 distinctive plots of Syrah with varying characteristics

Plot No. 24 is used to create the wine "Parcela 24"
