The Vineyard
The Kelman family vineyard is located in the heart of the demarcated region of Dão, a plateau surrounded by mountain escapes. It is one of the oldest and most traditional wine making regions of Portugal. The vineyard has 6 hectares of native grape varieties that were planted in year 2000. More recently 1,5 hectares of old vines were incorporated to the Estate. The vineyard stands at 450 meters above sea level on a mild slope. Sandy soils of granitic origin provide very good drainage. The temperate climate of continental influence brings cool, rainy winters and dry, sunny summers. Daily temperature amplitude favors grapes with a good balance between sugar and acidity, key to producing elegant and fresh wines with great potential for aging. It is home to several varieties of autochthonous grapes. The majority of wine production is being made from the Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), Jaen, Alfrocheiro for the reds and Encruzado, Bical, Cerceal and Malvasia Fina for the whites among others.

More than that: a beautiful region with friendly people that sing on the day of harvest, following the tradition of many generations. It is also a region in transformation, with an increased number of producers crafting great wines from grapes harvested in their parcels. They see themselves in this journey and welcome you to join the ride.
