Lúcia Borges Vinagre having inherited from her father, António Borges, Quinta de Santa Maria, in S. Miguel da Carreira, in Barcelos, came to be. beginning of strong wine development. After an innovative land consolidation process that continues to this day, the property's Vinho Verde began to be bottled, a pioneering activity in the Region. In 1939, Quinta do Tamariz was acquired, equipped with a manor house, which became D. Lúcia's residence. In 1965, the Sociedade Agrícola da Quinta de Santa Maria S.A. was created, which operates the two farms. Founded by D. Lúcia's son, the architect António Vinagre, the Society is today managed by his grandson, Dr. António Borges Vinagre. From 1981 onwards, a vast program of restructuring the vineyards began, giving priority to the noble white grape variety Loureiro, recommended for the Atlantic strip of the Vinhos Verdes Region. Later, the white varieties Arinto and Alvarinho and the red varieties Vinhão, Borraçal and Touriga Nacional were added. Our history, itself made up of stories, is the guarantor of our heritage.
