The wine project starts with about 1 hectare of vineyard next to Dão, to kiss the river. Today, the vineyard is 12 years old. The first wine was born in 1999, with grapes bought to join the (very few) that existed. The Lagar de Darei brand is born. In 2003 and after land liberation, another 6 hectares of vineyards were planted, with only Portuguese grape varieties typical of Dão, now with Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Jaen, Alfrocheiro, Encruzado, Malvasia, Bical, Cercial, Verdelho and Arinto. The vines are grown in organic farming.
