Cortes de Cima's story begins with a sailboat crossing treacherous waters, going through tomato and melon fields reaching finally the wine. Thus began the adventure of a foreign couple who came to Portugal looking for a place to plant a vineyard and raise a family. Armed with a pioneer spirit and without fear of prejudice, they planted red grapes in a white region, and vineyards on coastal pastures. Today, Cortes de Cima is a reference in Portuguese wine and synonymous with passion.
