Prior Lucas Fénix Red 2022

My great-grandfather, José Francisco Prior, was a small farmer from the parish of Souselas, who cultivated vineyards and did all his business in the city of Coimbra.

Over the years, the properties were divided among the children and grandchildren, and the wine business was lost.

Over the last decade, my father, José Prior Lucas, has been cultivating the plots that belonged to his grandfather, producing wine that he shared at the table with family and friends.

Continuing the family tradition, I decided to expand the sharing, producing wine by regrouping the vineyards of my great-grandfather, who in his time sold all his wine in the bohemian taverns of the Coimbra academy.

Keeping production small, not just to make a small number of bottles, but because it is a great pleasure to see each vineyard grow, to follow each vine and the respective development of the grapes, defining and imagining the wine that will come out of it for each bottle. It is a wonderful process!

I hope you appreciate and enjoy each glass of PRIOR LUCAS Wine according to your experiences, environments and company, retaining its identity, personality and uniqueness that are the basis of the best we have to offer in the admirable world of wines.
