Dão Wine Region – Serra da Estrela.

Nature has given the Dão Demarcated Region a set of happy geographical coincidences. Among deeply mountainous areas, valleys coexist with hills and smooth, rounded slopes.

Luis and Lurdes, a Portuguese couple, decided in 2007 to return to their origins and their past, in an initiative through a project aimed at sustainability and respect for nature, bringing together "man", the arts and traditions in this project.

After several trips the couple had previously made to the village of the mother of Lurdes, Luís's mother-in-law, in Vinhó, municipality of Gouveia, at the foot of the Serra da Estrela (second highest mountain in Portugal) resulted in the decision to invest in a property there . In a region where there are breathtaking landscapes, authentic living paintings and where fertile land valleys predominate.

When Homem Dreams, the work is born and Quinta Madre de Água is a reality with a vineyard that is already 40 years old, many olive trees, oaks, chestnut trees, pine trees, centuries-old cherry trees, rock formations from the Glacier era and many water wells. Madre de Água is the raison d'être and the essence of a set of Wines and more.
