Collection: Quinta da Boavista

Dão 

Intense, a cerebral vigneron, João Tavares de Pina completely rethought his approach to making wine in 2014.  The “re-boot,” as he dubs it, followed a three-year hiatus, when he made no wine from Quinta da Boavista at all.  Making wines for others between 2009 and 2011 helped to finance a ‘root and branch’ reform at the family estate in the highly regarded Dão sub-region of Penalva do Castelo.  The goal?  With biodiversity and sustainability in mind, the vineyards are now cultivated organically and focused on local grapes, including a parcel dedicated to lost Dão varieties.
