Zé da Leonor Grande
10.64 €
The bottled beauty comes to you from the Tejo region.
“Zé da Leonor” (Leonor’s Zé) was a well-known farmer in the region. He bought the Quinta Nova estate at the beginning of the last century.
Four generations later, his grand- and great-grand-children have recovered the estate located near Riachos, close to Torres Novas.
They also planted a new vineyard and built a modern, totally equipped cellar that now provides “Zé da Leonor” with its own bottled wines. Just like the man they’re named after, the wines possess a strong, unmistakable character that this family wants to honour and perpetuate.
In 2012, the family combined its agricultural experience with a professional and organised structure, allowing for the long-term continuation of the estate’s project – the creation of the Casa Agrícola Rebelo Lopes (Rebelo Lopes Agricultural House).
This wine is brilliant in colour and has an awe-inspiring freshness that’s even more welcomed now that we’re reaching the Spring. The days will become warmer and demand opening a chilled white wine.
Spring will always make us believe in better days. Better and longer days, of course.
Turn this card over and check out the delicious recipe with chèvre cheese, walnuts, raisins and honey that we have for you to accompany this Zé da Leonor.
You’ll be going back for seconds and thirds. Guaranteed!

The Wine
“Zé da Leonor” was a farmer known by this name in the region. He acquired the Quinta Nova estate at the beginning of the last century and initiated a project that now culminates in this wine’s production. Today, four generations later, his grand- and great-grandchildren recovered the estate.
