A Magnum Vinhos is located in Oliveira do Conde, in the heart of the Lusitânia winery, between the Mondego and Dão rivers, it is here that the most adventurous vineyards that the country knows and it was also here that Carlos Rodrigues and Carlos Lucas began the extraordinary adventure of a life dedicated to them vinhas. First at the project of the old age of Dão.
Writing wine stories, working among the vines, breeding and mastering to produce the most extraordinary wines, concentrating aromas and lives between carafes, growing and learning with each vindima. In two decades, between Portugal and Brazil, these winemakers knew how to innovate. History does not turn off and memory is preserved. That came together in 2011, when it was created at Magnum Carlos Lucas Wines with roots in Ribeiro Santo, ancient property that guarded the most ancient vinhas do Dão. Protected by the cumeada of the Serra da Estrela, a fantastic imaginary that the geography traced and that increased, at the end of this immense value, or Caramulo. São esses cumes that inspire us and leaf the Ribeiro Santo is an immense grandmother who preserves the finest secrets that the wine can tell.
But the company aims to discover geography, expand curiosity and breed other wines. Climbing up to the Douro I extend my portfolio like Baton, I descend to the Alentejo plain and catch up with Maria Mora.
Thirty hectares in Dão, 60 in Alentejo and 10 in Douro. In the Dão region we have Quinta do Ribeiro Santo, in Carregal do Sal. Further to the north, in the Douro region or Casal de Loivos, where the Batom and Tom de Batom wines are made. Alentejo, in Talhas, in the municipality of Mora, we produce the Maria Mora and Flor de Maio wines. Irreverent, but with roots founded in an agriculture that respects the terroir and the Portuguese castes.
