Quinta do Cruzeiro is the name that designates several “terroirs” in the eleven plots surrounded by forest and olive trees that belonged to the same family, from remote times and throughout the centuries.

Quinta do Cruzeiro’s wine vocation is lost in its foundation: there is evidence of an even more far-reaching excellence in the wine that has always been produced here, or in the memory of the oral tradition that goes back to the lager of the vineyard of the Cipreste (from Casa da Balsa) which makes us dream about the middle age – or even more ancient, the Roman civilization that the Roman citadel next door in Mangualde attests.
