Quinta de Pancas

Quinta de Pancas was established in 1495. It is located next to the village of Pancas (Alenquer) 45 kilometers northwest of Lisbon. The lands of Alenquer extend between the Serra de Montejunto and the flatlands of the right bank of the Tagus river. With a total area of 73 hectares, Quinta de Pancas has 50 hectares of vineyards located 35 kilometers east of the Atlantic Ocean. The vines are planted on a landscape of mountains, hills and valleys protected by Serra de Montejunto. From this unique terroir we produce intense, complex and elegant wines. Quinta de Pancas was pioneer in the plantation of French grape varieties in Portugal. The predominate grape varieties in the estate are: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Touriga Nacional, Chardonnay, Arinto and Vital.
