About the wine
Quinta das Marias is located in the heart of the Dão, the oldest DOC area in Portugal. The winery was founded in 1991 by Elisabeth and Peter Eckert. The two Swiss wine pioneers initially bought 4 hectares of land. Today, the charming Quinta covers 12 hectares in a prime location. The winery only grows autochthonous plants. Thanks to the excellent climatic conditions and the exceptional terroir, wines of first-class quality are produced. Become a flagship company from the Dão wine-growing region within a very short time.

Tasting note
Garrafeira is the highest quality level according to the Portuguese DOC regulations after “Reserva”. In order for a wine to bear this designation, it must have been stored for at least two years (one in the cellar, one in the bottle) and must achieve a minimum score when tasted by the DOC authority. Quintas das Marias produces a Garrafeira approximately every five years. The prerequisite is that grapes are available that “fall out of line” (quote Peter Eckert). It comes from the oldest vines on the estate with the lowest yields, two thirds of the wine matured in new barriques. The result was an extremely elegant, multi-faceted wine with fine tannins and balanced acidity.
