Quinta Do Sobral Branco

Description

It is at Velho Sobral that Cristina Simões, daughter of the company founder, grows up with her grandparents, learning the art of the land, playing, and above all discovering a love that continues to overflow with pride. She began her dream with sacrifice in 1997, starting to annex land to her Velho Sobral, reconstituting old vines with new plantings, and building her cellar in 2000, constantly evolving technology and space to serve her. Quinta do Sobral currently has 15 hectares of vineyard in production and more than 20 hectares of forest, essential to the terroir of Dão wine. Returning to sacrifices and betting on this project, Cristina Simões, a teacher by profession, and Jorge Loureiro, a hotel manager of a five‑star complex in England, form a passionate couple with shared ideas. They embrace Nelson Simões’ project and, realizing their dream, leave behind their well‑established careers to dedicate themselves exclusively to the Quinta do Sobral project. We reach the turning point at Quinta do Sobral, but do not think that Cristina and Jorge’s arrival created this change; rather, it was precisely the arrival of Maria, the daughter, the granddaughter, and the soul of Quinta do Sobral.
