Organic, woman-led Dão estate built on Quinta do Cruzeiro, one of the region’s oldest vineyards, run by Lisbon lawyer Júlia Kemper since 2003. Vinmonopolet carries her Vinhas Selecionadas red (art. 8316401) and Blanc de Noir (art. 11202401), both at NOK 249.90.
Júlia Kemper was a Lisbon lawyer from a family with a long Dão winegrowing tradition when she took over Quinta do Cruzeiro and began making wine in 2003. The property is one of the oldest vineyards in the Dão demarcated region, comprising eleven plots surrounded by forest and olive trees that have stayed in the same family across centuries. The estate farms organically and its wines are vegan-certified — a positioning that travels unusually well in Nordic retail.
In Norway, Vinmonopolet carries two Kemper wines at NOK 249.90: the red Vinhas Selecionadas 2019 (article 8316401), described by the monopoly as juicy and cool with dark and red berry, spice and herb notes, and the white Vinhas Selecionadas Blanc de Noir 2021 (article 11202401), a full-textured wine with fresh acidity and citrus and spice character.
The Dão is Portugal’s answer to cool-climate elegance, and it is precisely the profile Nordic buyers have been moving toward — freshness over power, organic farming, small production, a named grower. Two simultaneous listings at the same premium price point suggest Vinmonopolet is buying the estate rather than a single bottling, which is how small Portuguese producers build durable Norwegian shelf presence.
