Quinta da Cerca lies in the middle of the Dão region - the oldest DOC (DOC = Denominação de Origem Controlada) region of Portugal. To the southeast lay the Sierra de Estrela crowned by the Torre, the highest mountain of continental Portugal (1980m) and to the northwest lay the Serra do Caramulo which protect the Dão valley from the rough climate of the Atlantic.
This results in a climate ideal for cultivation of wine - cool and rainy winters and dry summers. This climate conditions and the granite soil are the basic factors for the growths of excellent grape varieties.
