"Monte S. Sebastião"`s history started in 1950, when the owners of the estate, at the time, started an agricultural program where terraced vineyards were planted as well as other cultures such as olive and almond trees. This program also included the construction of a small winery with the tradicional “lagares” for wine processing and a small house for the cottier of the estate.
