In the year 2000, Abílio Tavares da Silva decided to change his life. He sold the companies he owned in Lisbon and headed with his family to the Douro, looking for a place to produce wines in the oldest demarcated and regulated region in the world.
He found the ideal place after a long search: a property with 14 hectares in the heart of the wine region, with fantastic views and a privileged exhibition for wine production: south and west. Following a detailed reconstruction project, the producer maintained three hectares of old vines planted on terraces and replanted about 80 per cent of the property with traditional Douro varieties (Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão, Tinta Barroca…). The entire rehabilitation of the property – surriba, irrigation, drainage, fertigation and weather station – obeyed the most modern technologies and knowledge available in each area, combining innovation with respect for tradition.
