Small-scale production – very elegant

Ribeiro Santo

Having previously controlled the Dao Sul wine company, which grew to become one of Portugal’s most successful sales machines, Carlos Lucas has recently opted for a change of approach. Having taken the decision to return to small-scale production, Carlos purchased a 6 hectare estate in the Dao region and has set about cultivating its vines in order to produce two wonderfully constructed and elegant reds, including the eponymous Ribeiro Santo which is a blend of Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro and Tinta Roriz.
