His career, guided by innovation, strategic vision and a deep respect for the identity of each region, has made a decisive contribution to the international recognition of Portuguese wines. In 1989, he began his personal project in Estremoz, laying the foundations for what would become one of the most emblematic Portuguese wine groups. Today, his projects are synonymous with authenticity, excellence and a constant pursuit of the most genuine expression of the land and its origins.
In addition to Adega Vila Santa, in Estremoz, Quinta de Foz de Arouce, in Lousã, and Paço do Cardido, in Ponte de Lima, the Duorum project also stands out. Founded in 2007, it is a tribute to the extraordinary wine heritage of the Douro and was born from a very clear vision: to create wines of great elegance and character, capable of reflecting the uniqueness of one of the most emblematic wine regions in the world. Produced from sustainably managed vineyards, respecting nature and its ecosystem, Duorum wines stand out for their sophistication, balance and identity, earning recognition among international wine lovers and critics.
