This wine is a tribute to our beloved "Angry Duck," who once lived in our vineyards. He had a very charming and independent personality, and his rare beauty was simply stunning. However, he would become agitated whenever anyone got too close.

Saint Sebastian, who inspired and gave his name to the Quinta de S. Sebastião, was a martyr and a great warrior who believed he could prevent the Roman Empire from persecuting Christians. This irreverent wine range was also inspired by this historical figure, intrinsically linked to the village of Arruda dos Vinhos, where our Quinta is located. This range features wines from a Mediterranean climate with strong Atlantic influences and blends of renowned national and international grape varieties. These wines are characterized by the enveloping nature of their soft, fruity, fresh, and elegant flavors.
