Description
Both Celso Pereira and Jorge Alves could have the nickname 'Quanta Terra', if they weren't the personification of the wine brand that this year celebrates its first 20 years of existence.
Finally, they were faced with a decision: heads or tails.
Two properties filled their dimensions. It was heads… and tails, as the chosen Quinta – Quinta do Tralhão – is the face of this producer and the crown of the incredible wines produced there.
With an average elevation of 215 m and southwest exposure, the Quinta had, at the time, 30 ha of which 12 ha were vineyards over two decades old. It looked perfect. But everything good has a price to pay. The vineyards were in a general state of abandonment, which required complete restructuring.
The millennium was ending when, finally, Celso and Jorge established the company Quanta Terra, Lda.
Visionaries, with a project of high potential, but without the financial means to carry out Tralhão, the two winemakers agreed on their intentions and proposed a share to Mário Joaquim, owner of the property that had belonged to his family for several generations. The die was cast.
