COMPANY SHORT STORY

Our family has been working in viniculture and wine growing for several generations. We currently explore over 170 hectares divided in two properties in central Portugal: Quinta de S. Mateus and Quinta de Vale d’ Azar.

Situated on Quinta de S. Mateus, our wine cellar produces 300.000 bottles a year. The wine is produced without any pumps at all (there’s a 18m height difference between the entrance of the grapes and the presses), it’s only used the robot pigeuer, without remontage, without using any yeasts, enzymes or bacteria.

We seek Bairrada DOC Certification for all our wines, so that we can proudly carry the name of our land, far and wide.

ABOUT WINE

We produce what people call this days “natural wines”: we don’t use any enological products, the new cellar uses gravity rather them pumps and in the field we go part organic and part integrated production. Bairrada, the soil and climate, shows very well in our wines, but we think that we can always improve.

On these vineyards we rehearse some foreign varieties along with several national ones (some of them from outside this region) such as: Baga, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, etc.. As white varieties, we grow, Arinto, Bical, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, etc.

We produce wines of a single vineyard (the most part), with a first wine with high quality and cost and a second one with a major number of bottles and low cost. We also produce sparkling wines with the classic method. 

You are very welcome for a tasting!
