It is a large, successful wine estate, located in the small village of Sobrado and was founded in the early eighties by Esteves Monteiro, after a decade spent reconstructing and modernising the family vineyards. Today Esteves and his family - his wife, daughter and two sons - manage the estate, which includes 200 hectares in the Vinho Verde region. A bottling plant was opened on the site in 1985 and today the family produces about 5 million bottles of wine annually. This also includes the wines produced at the family’s vineyard, Herdade Penedo Gordo, in the Portuguese Alentejo wine region, some 400 kms south.

Quinta das Arcas wines have received several high profile awards and are exported globally to approximately 40 different countries.
The family has focused on producing top quality wines through its determined focus on the health of its vines across the different vineyards. Its approach to farming and winemaking is 100% sustainable.
The predominant grape variety at Quinta das Arcas, is Loureiro, which is ideally suited to the terroir here. The style is typically Vinho Verde, fresh, aromatic, with great acidity.
