ABOUT
This range is inspired by the Mina Velha that exists in Quinta de S.Sebastião. A mine composed of underground galleries that cross the entire property and that make possible the historic relationship that the Quinta has with the “Linhas de Torres” that were essential in the defense of Lisbon against the French invasions. The wines in this range have several national grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz, Arinto and Fernão Pires, which give them a young, expressive and fruity aroma, making them easy to drink, smooth and elegant wines.
