As not everyone is familiar with the concept of the Portuguese word Quinta, we would like to say that it has many romantic and mysterious connotations. Historically Quintas have been a kind of property associated to the Portuguese aristocracy and influential or wealthy members of society and evoke a life of abundance. At its simplest however, a Quinta is a portion of land for sowing and cultivation. There are other definitions such as: a rural property with a country house surrounded by fields and trees, within a defined and usually walled space. This Quinta is most aptly described by this last definition.
