Domínio do Açor is inserted in a fascinating historical atmosphere next to the village of Oliveira do Conde, a small parish in the Municipality of Carregal do Sal and District of Viseu, in the wine region of the Dão.

Domínio do Açor enjoys the freshness and continentality of the Dão, but at the same time its mesoclimate is drier and less marginal than in Serra da Estrela. The grapes ripen slowly and with immense balance between sugars and acids, and a high concentration of aromatic precursors.
