Tinto QUINTA DA LAPA - Homenagem
“Dom Lourenço de Almeida, the distinguished founder of Quinta da Lapa, chose this beautiful and timeless poem of faith, written by Saint Teresa of Ávila, as the inscription for his noble house. Born in 1515 in the province of Ávila, Spain, Teresa de Ahumada was an extraordinary woman, renowned for her intelligence and unique personality.
Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things pass;
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
Whoever has God lacks nothing.
God alone is enough.”
