Q.S.S. rare

A Unique Combination
The perfect union between the wines of Quinta de S. Sebastio, with more than 300 years of tradition in wine production in Arruda dos Vinhos, and a cause, the endangered animals!

The most recent wines from Quinta de S. Sebastio, QSS Rare range, were born combining two purposes: to offer vibrant and modern wines produced in a millenary terroir and to support organizations that are in the front line in the important fight against the extinction of species that are currently endangered, drawing the consumer’s attention to this very worrying issue.

Wines

These are wines produced in Arruda dos Vinhos, a Lisbon sub-region with a millenary tradition in wine production. Our vineyards are located on gentle slopes with altitudes ranging from 100 to 250 meters. They benefit from excellent sun exposure and a climate slightly tempered by the Atlantic Ocean, which is located about 35 km from our properties. Our vineyards’ soils are predominantly clay-limestone.

Sardine

Sardine
Sardina pilchardus

It has an elongated body, which can reach 27 cm long, subcylindrical and silvery, dyed blue or green on the back, a perfect camouflage against predators. It has round and dark spots on the sides.

Sardines can live up to the age of 14. They feed exclusively on plankton (microscopic plants and animals), including their own eggs, to a large extent. Their fat, which gives them the taste that is so much appreciated by the Portuguese, is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are important in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

Sardines are an iconic element of Portuguese culture and gastronomy, but in the last 20 years there has been a decrease in their catches. Sustainable exploitation of this important resource, with adequate fishing effort, is one of the challenges we face if we are to continue to enjoy this resource for many long years.
