Casa Das Gaeiras Branco

Located in Obidos, Casa das Gaeiras was founded in the 18th century and has always been considered as a beacon of quality from the region of Lisbon. One of the first producers to bottle its own wines, numerous prestigious awards have been collected over the years. Much of the reputation of Gaeiras stems from the white wine produced here, still referred to as “of the the historic wines of Portugal”.
