Description
Owner José Manuel Bento dos Santos, an industrial chemical engineer, has a strong love for northern Rhône wines. On a unique piece of landscape, 70km north of Lisbon, 15ha of vineyards are ORGANICALLY maintained to grow perfect grapes with an extremely low yield of 20-25hl per hectare. With the support of Grégory Viennos (former head winemaker at Chapoutier and Cos d' Estournel), exceptionally beautiful wines are produced that have now found their way into royal cellars and the best European and American restaurants.
Monte d'Oiro 'the golden hill' is a reference to the hill on the Quinta that takes on a beautiful golden glow when the sun shines over it. The winery is located in the Vinho Regional Lisboa appellation.
The Parcela 24 is the top model of Quinta do Monte d'Oiro. It comes from 60-year-old syrah vines from a single vineyard. The vines are clones from the Rhône (Hermitage and Côte Rôtie). The Parcela 24 was previously known as the Syrah "24" and was aged for 18 months in 40% new French oak. It is tight, intense and youthful and is a wine that you should definitely put aside for a few more years, but you will be rewarded for this because once the tannins have melted and the hard edges have disappeared, the powerhouse becomes an elegant wine with a capital E. Full and powerful wine with intense aromas of ripe cassis fruit, vanilla, black pepper and an endlessly long aftertaste. Impressively beautiful!

Wijnhuis
This wine region in Portugal, about 50 kilometers north of Lisbon, has been known for its great terroir since the 17th century. In the 1980s, Quinta do Monte d'Oiro came into the hands of José Bento dos Santos, originally an industrial chemical engineer. He combines his passion for quality wine and gastronomy and has received many awards in both areas, both at home and abroad. The 20 hectares of vineyard are organically farmed. Naturally, local grape varieties have been planted such as Touriga Nacional and Arinto, but also the best global varieties such as Petit Verdot and Tempranillo (tinta roriz). The influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the limestone and clay soils give this area its unique terroir. Graça Gonçalves learned winemaking from her father, among others, and played a major role in the switch to organic production at Quinta do Monte d'Oiro.
