Solar the Bouças

Solar das Bouças

The name Solar das Bouças has a long history, dating back to the 18th century. In the center of the estate was an impressive manor house, also known as "Solar". Its property included several "bouças", which consisted of wheat fields, orchards, vegetable gardens and pine forests.

More than half a century has passed since Albano Castro Sousa acquired the ruined estate and turned it into a famous vineyard. Solar das Bouças quickly became a byword for high quality. Eventually, the estate was sold to the van Zeller family who, under Fernando van Zeller's leadership, brought it to new heights. Renovations were made and new vines were planted in all sorts of varieties.

Solar das Bouças is nowadays managed by an investment company run by António Ressurreição. It was his first investment in wine land and he bought it out of pure passion.
