Established in 1733, Quinta da Lapa remains one of the oldest wine estates in the Tejo region. Located in the highlands north of the Tejo river, the estate’s 30 hectares of vineyards are planted in calcareous-clay soils that slope to the south receiving maximum sun exposure. The unique terroir is subject to warm summer days and cool nights and mornings, perfect to even, gradual ripening of grapes. The wines of Quinta da Lapa achieve the intricate balance between power and finesse coupled with great freshness and minerality that offer a unique sense of place in every glass.
