Quinta da Pellada is the most renowned estate in the Dão, and its owner, Alvaro Castro, is considered not only the figurehead of the region but also one of Portugal's most important winemakers.
He was the first to resume working as a family business in the Dão 45 years ago. Stubborn, headstrong, however you want to look at it, Alvaro always charts his own course.
His quest for the purest possible expression of the region's indigenous grape varieties and the unique character of the regional terroir is deeply impressive.
