The first reference to A Serenada, already with this name, was found in a family will dated 1646. The property has been in the family of Jacinta Sobral da Silva for over 300 years.
Jacinta remembers A Serenada since she was a child, when she accompanied her father, António Gomes Sobral. It was he who one day (more precisely in 1961, at the age of 33) had the beautiful idea of planting “some vines” (Castelão, Baga, Camarate and Bastardo) that would give rise, years later, to the Cepas Cinquentenárias Red. At the time, wine was made in the first own cellar and sold in bulk to friends and friends of friends.
After António Gomes Sobral passed away, his daughter Jacinta continues her father’s many years of work and in this way, a new chapter in the history of A Serenada begins in 2008 with the planting of a new vineyard. The construction of the winery in 2009 – and the first licensed winery in the municipality – marks the beginning of the commercial development of the Serras de Grândola brand.
