History

ANCIENT RUINS OF THE CELTS AND ROMANS WHO LIVED HERE

Domínio do Açor is inserted in a fascinating historical atmosphere next to the village of Oliveira do Conde, a small parish in the Municipality of Carregal do Sal and District of Viseu, in the wine region of the Dão. ​

To wine lovers and wine travellers, it is inevitable to think that we are walking in Volnay or Vosne-Romanée, when we leave the domaine and enter the old cobblestone streets towards our old winery, located in a charming square, in front of the 17th century Casa dos Buxeiros. But let's go back even further in time...​

VINHA DA BASTARDA: Tourigo (Touriga Nacional do Dão). In the following years will be reconverted to Bastardo (Trousseau) and a collection of "bastard" white varieties, left aside by the modern wine industry, but of great qualitative value and for the preservation of the history of the Dão. 13.656m2 total, year of conversion: 2024 onwards.

Winemaking

TERROIR PHILOSOPHY, ELEGANCE AND MINERALITY

We must not confuse hands-off oenology with lack of oenology. Wine is just a moment in time between must and vinegar, and without human knowledge and experience, it is impossible to talk about wine and especially great wines that express their terroir. Then comes into play the sensitivity of the real winemakers, those who intervene only as necessary so that the wines are transparent to the terroir. The worst intervention is non-intervention!
