Carcavelos Casa Manoel Boullosa Quinta Dos Pesos

Descrição

Carcavelos, a region demarcated in 1908, is situated very close to the mouth of the Tagus in the parishes of São Domingos de Rana and Carcavelos within the municipality of Cascais, as well as part of the parish of Oeiras in the same municipality. The fame of Carcavelos wines has faded over time. The Marquis of Pombal, who produced them at his Oeiras estate, prized them so highly that King José I presented them to the court of Beijing in 1752. For centuries wine production was the most important economic activity in the parish of Carcavelos. Its enduring name, quality and typicity were officially recognized by a Carta de Lei in 1908.
