00:00When Uluzuwe and his wife Leotsoping visited Portugal in 2013, they fell in love, buying the Quinta de Marmalera estate.
00:09They were living the dream, making wine to sell in Macau and beyond, but in January 2024, tragedy struck when Uluzuwe passed away unexpectedly.
00:20Now, Leotsoping, her daughter Carmen and their new family in Portugal, their staff, work to keep his legacy alive.
00:28Like Adriano Barrias, who grew up in Macau and speaks fluent Cantonese.
00:33What are you basically?
00:34We speak Cantonese here.
00:38I don't understand.
00:40I don't understand any of that.
00:41Nice place, with nice wine, with great people. I think every worker here feels part of the family.
00:47They are all Bernardo.
00:48We have Bernardo here, the family.
00:50Hey Bernardo, how are you?
00:52It's a pleasure to work in an estate like this, with a lot of love.
00:56All the dedication of our family, who work with us, gives us the maximum to work and do the best we can.
01:04How many years have you been working here?
01:06Many years.
01:07Many?
01:08Like a family.
01:09We have to say thank you very much everyone.
