A historic farmhouse with spectacular heritage of old vines was acquired by a group of friends in 2021. Domínio do Açor is inserted in a fascinating atmosphere next to the medieval village of Oliveira do Conde. “Domínio” in allusion to the philosophy of making great Dão terroir wines with “domaine” grapes. And “do Açor” evoking geography, facing the Serra do Açor. With the consultancy of the terroir master Pedro Parra and the oenology of the talented Luís Lopes, with passage through Comtes Lafon in Burgundy and Quinta da Pellada in Dão, the style is one of elegance, freshness and granitic minerality.
