Lisa Bona

Lisa Bona is a label of Quinta De S. Sebastião, a winery in the village of Arruda dos Vinhos, a sub-region of Portugal’s Lisbon main region. This collection of wines are inspired by the vibrant and historic city of Lisbon. Quinta de S. Sebastião was established in 1755, the same year an earthquake devastated the area. The tradition of winemaking in Arruda dos Vinhos goes back more than 1,000 years. Today, Quinta De S. Sebastião is owned and operated by Antonio Parente.

Lisa Bona wines are cultivated on sunlit vineyards influenced by Atlantic breezes, resulting in balanced and elegant wines. The vineyards are sited on the same sunny, clay-limestone hills as “Forte do Cego”, an old military installation that helped defend Lisbon against the invading army of Napoléon Bonapart. Elevations range from 70 to 450 meters. The climate is Mediterranean, as the winery is only about 30 kilometers from the Atlantic but mountains protect the vines from the powerful oceanic winds. These are the same winds that create the famed towering waves revered by surfers.
