Santar Vila Jardim
The individuality of the Dão region is due to the nature and ruggedness of its relief, which determine marked microclimatic variations, of great importance for vine culture and great significance for the quality of wines. Surrounded by high granite mountains on three sides – Serra da Estrela, Serra do Caramulo and Serra da Nave, the region is protected from the influence of the Atlantic Ocean. Thus, the local climate remains temperate. The summers are dry and hot, while the inverse, cold and rainy, with great thermal amplitude. The soils are sandy, of granite and schistous origin, well drained. All these factors are conducive to obtaining high quality wines.
The Santar Vila Jardim project brings together the vineyard gardens of the Casa dos Condes de Santar and Magalhães, Fidalgas, Iberico Nogueira and Magnólia. In them, great grape varieties were combined in a Terroir of choice. A vineyard garden is one that awakens all the senses.
