Nuno Cancela de Abreu was born into a family with over 130 years of farming tradition, in a property located in the wine region of Dão. Nuno is representative of the 4th generation of the Cancela de Abreu family. Despite his high academic background, the influence of his family was the key element in pursuing a career in winemaking.
It was in the harvest of 2010 that he decided to dedicate all his experience in viticulture and winemaking exclusively to the Boas Quintas project in order to develop it in a sustainable way. In 1991, a new vineyard was planted and the brands “Quinta da fonte do Ouro” and “Quinta da Giesta” were born. Nuno is always striving for initiatives that will allow him to create high quality wines with distinctive character and personality.
