Quinta Do Sobral Reserva Tinto

Description

It is at Velho Sobral where Cristina Simões, daughter of the company’s founder, grows up with her grandparents, learning the art of the land, playing, and most importantly discovering a love that continues to overflow with pride. She began her dream with sacrifice in 1997, starting to annex land to Velho Sobral, reconstituting old vines with new plantings, and building her cellar already in 2000, constantly advancing the technology and space at its service. Quinta do Sobral now has 15 ha of vineyards in production and over 20 ha of forest, essential to the terroir of Dão wine. Returning to sacrifice and betting on this project, Cristina, a teacher by profession, and Jorge Loureiro, a hotel manager of a five‑star complex in England, formed a passionate couple with shared ideas. They embraced Nelson Simões’ project and, fulfilling their dream, left behind their firmly established careers to devote themselves exclusively to the Quinta do Sobral venture. We have thus reached the turning point at Quinta do Sobral, but it was not Cristina and Jorge’s arrival that created this change; it was precisely the arrival of Maria—daughter, granddaughter, and soul of the estate.
