Mina Velha
This range is inspired on the “Mina Velha” (Old Mine) that takes place in Quinta de S. Sebastião. The “Mina” is composed by underground galleries that go under the whole property and the mine made possible the historical relation the Quinta has with the “Linhas de Torres”. which were essential when defending Lisbon against the French invasions. The range wines were made from diverse grape varieties, such as Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz, Arinto and Fernão Pires, grapes that grant the wine its young, expressive and fruity aroma, being an easy to drink wine, soft and elegant.
