Quinta das Maias

In the foothills of the Serra de Estrela mountain range, Quinta das Maias was first planted in 1893. Renowned for its special location and wild, rugged terroir. The name of the estate derives from the Portuguese word for the month of May, which is when the Weaver's Broom (Maia) flowers here, painting the hillside yellow.

The property was was bought by the Lourenço family (of Quinta dos Roques) in 1997, and since then their endeavours  have established a fully certified organic and regeneratively managed vineyard of 30Ha. A haven for the Jaen variety (aka Mencia) as well the white, Malvasia Fina. These and other varieties are batch planted in single plots, giving the wines a clear identity of the place.

The Maias red and white are vineyard blends from the whole estate, whilst the Quinta das Mais wines derive from special plots.
