História
João Tavares de Pina
Farm led by João Tavares de Pina, impulsive and daring character, located in Penalva de Castelo, at 500m altitude, with 40 ha of which 13 ha are vineyards, in a beautiful granite valley, surrounded by woods with more clayey areas, where you can breathe the tranquility of nature. João and Luísa practice chemical-free agriculture and sow complementary plants that guarantee the ecosystem’s balance and protection against diseases and pests. Alongside the older vines, they are reconstituting a huge diversity of autochthonous varieties, giving a second life to the farm and the style of the wines. Until 2013 with classic inspiration in wines produced with a base of Jaen and Touriga Nacional, aged in wood and with long aging in bottle, the new range of Rufia explores the elaboration of young, fresh, acidic wines and with vegetable touches, from natural wines, with minimal intervention and low SO2.
João makes unique wines made with knowledge and sharp tannins, by someone who thinks for his own head and invests in the defense of (his) land and its indigenous components, against the massification of a taste in favor of interests that destroy the local identity. The result is wines imbued with character that do not go unnoticed, some revealing the potential for aging and others the energy of the Dão.
