Quinta Do Sobral Branco

Descrição

It is at Velho Sobral where Cristina Simões, daughter of the company’s founder, grows up alongside her grandparents, learning the art of the land, playing, and most importantly discovering love—a love that continues to overflow with pride. She begins her dream with sacrifice in 1997, starting to annex land to Velho Sobral, restoring old vines with new plantings, and building her cellar in 2000, constantly evolving the technology and space to serve her. The Quinta do Sobral currently has 15 hectares of vineyard in production and over 20 hectares of forest, essential for the terroir of Dão wine. Returning to sacrifice and betting on this project, Cristina Simões, a teacher by profession, and Jorge Loureiro, a hotel manager of a 5‑star complex in England, form a passionate couple with common ideas. They embrace Nelson Simões’ project, and realizing their dream, leave behind their well‑established careers to devote themselves exclusively to the Quinta do Sobral. We thus reach the turning point at Quinta do Sobral, but do not think it was the arrival of Cristina and Jorge that created this change; no, it was precisely the arrival of Maria, the daughter, granddaughter, and soul of Quinta do Sobral.
