Quinta Várzea da Pedra Reserva Branco

Quinta Várzea da Pedra is a family estate located in Bombarral, in Portugal’s western region. Since 1910, the family has been producing Pêra-Rocha pears, grapes, and wine, and at one point, also raised cattle and produced cow’s milk. In 2015, the fourth generation of the family renovated the winery and began bottling part of the production, focusing on quality and character. The vineyards, planted in clay-limestone soils, are influenced by the mesoclimate created by the Atlantic Ocean’s sea breeze, the Lagoa de Óbidos, and the nearby Serra do Montejunto. In their winery, they craft wines that reflect the authenticity of what they harvest, allowing the terroir to shine through with wines that display intense freshness, a pleasant minerality, and a marked acidity. These wines are defined by a strong identity, a unique palate profile, and promising aging potential, expressing the essence of the region and the character of DOC Óbidos wines. “Here, old traditions are recreated with an eye toward the future. Stories, emotions, and sensations are lived and shared in every drop of wine.”
