The Hehn Family has been linked for many years to the Távora-Varosa Region, a region par excellence of sparkling wines in Portugal. From its German origins and from this unique terroir is born its passion for wines and sparkling wines in particular.
Hehn wines are created at Quinta da Seara, São Cosmado, Armamar. Situated on the slopes of the Tedo River, facing southeast and 700 meters above sea level, this property is a unique terroir for white and sparkling wines production. The farm has been in the family for several generations, being the current owner, the winemaker, Marcos Hehn Pinto da Silva, the fourth generation. The first harvest they bottled was in 2005 and after 13 years they know that the wines of the highlands south of the Douro have an incredible potential for ageing. They use the traditional varieties of the region, white and red, which we highlight Cerceal Branco and Gouveio, but also wanted to show that the terroir welcomes well foreign varieties. Therefore, and also honoring their German origins, they planted Riesling of the Mosel.
