Madre De Água Dª Lurdes Encruzado Branco

Description

This wine is a tribute to Mrs Lurdes, the family matriarch who, over the years, has poured her passion into welcoming stray dogs, creating conditions that can reciprocate the unconditional love they give. Made from the native Encruzado grape, it offers a citrus‑mint profile that reflects its origin in the high, granite‑rich soils of Serra da Estrela. The Quinta Madre de Água, located at the foot of Serra da Estrela, was inaugurated in 2007 by the couple Luís and Lurdes, who returned to their roots through a sustainable project that respects nature, people, art, and tradition. With about 16 hectares of vineyards averaging 40 years, the estate produces a diverse range of blends and single‑varietals. In addition to viticulture, it cultivates olives and fruit, produces cheese, and runs a charming hotel with a restaurant, covering a total area of 60 hectares. (illustrative image)
