Tiago Teles co-founded the wine website “Os5às8”, having developed a career as a wine critic between 2002 and 2008. Within the scope of that project, he also co-authored four editions of an annual wine guide. He co-founded the website “Nova Crítica-vinho” between 2007 and 2009, co-authoring also the guide “Portal Portugal, Guia de Vinhos Portugueses e Estrangeiros 2008 e 2009”. In 2009, for professional and personal reasons, he took a step away from wine commentary, but just a few years later was able to realise, together with his father, his long-sought dream of making wine, in close contact with nature, and indisputably aligned to the identity of a place. This is how Gilda e Maria da Graça were born in Bairrada, genuinely pure and palatable wines, that reflect everything Tiago believes in. In 2015, he revives two inner worlds: the rehabilitation of an ancient granitic rural aggregate, at Quinta da Cancela, in Arcos de Valdevez, and the rebirth of the vineyards from Quinta dos Cozinheiros, close to Figueira da Foz – in an attempt to mix new and up to 50-year-old vineyards, in partnership with António Marques da Cruz from Quinta da Serradinha.
Our wines are deeply influenced by the Atlantic, as a result of the childhood connection with the sea, back when Tiago learned to sail Gilda, instructed by his grandfather. This is also a project where opinion matters, held by strong ties to family histories: the perseverance of human values of freedom and friendship. To that end, we have assumed an ethical compromise with wine, wine makers, their life stories, and their values. Deep down, with the roots of a place and its people. The wines we produce are honest and straightforward, pure, not filtered or adjusted.
