A captivating history, an enticing wine

QUINTA DO CERRADO

Located in Oliveirinha, in Carregal do Sal, Quinta do Cerrado belongs to União Comercial da Beira since the 80’s.

A gorgeous estate that includes a house with rustic elements that mirror the region at that time.

With meticulous care, the old apple orchards were transformed into vineyards, with the typical varieties from Dão. The wine was the main focus and the investment in the vineyards was a perfect display of that mindset. Everything that was done showed a sense of love and union, in perfect communion with nature.

Nowadays, it is fainter, and the harvests in the estate happen also in the olive grove, as well as the chestnut tree, hazel tree, and orange orchards.

But it is by the house that the history regains its charm, with the majestic magnolia, the guardian tree of the vineyard, that fills with blooms after each winter and symbolizes the reunion of the family. The irrevocable beauty and symbolism of this tree’s flower were used as an incentive for the younger members of the family, scattered across the world, to return home. This ritual, that inspired the family to gather each year, shows their union and their connection to this special place.

WITH A VIEW TOWARDS SERRA DA ESTRELA AND CARAMULO, WHERE THE MAJESTIC MAGNOLIA IS THE GUARDIAN OF THE VINEYARD.

The image printed on the wines from Quinta do Cerrado shows this tender relationship of a mother awaiting the return of a son, represented by a blooming magnolia branch with a bird’s nest.

This touching connection gives the wines from Quinta do Cerrado a personal touch, carrying in each bottle a bit of the warmth, comfort, and tranquility of a homecoming.
