Vinha Paz - Five generations of wine producers

In 2002, the first Vinha Paz was born, whose name was inspired by the mother of António Canto Moniz, the producer. Vinha Paz is more than a wine, it is a family legacy with more than a century, passed from generation to generation. A story that began in the first granite wine cellar, built by the great-great-grandfather of António Canto Moniz, where, even today, wine is made in an ancient way but using modern technologies. And the story continued: his grandfather was the first president of the Federation of Viticulturists in Dão, his father developed cooperativism and was president of a cooperative winery and his younger brother was director of the Federation of Vinhos do Dão. The label's iconic image is of a gate at the Carreira Alta house, where her sister lives and the winery is located. Henrique, his son, is the current manager of Vinha Paz. With him, he continues this story of five generations of a family making wines with passion and personality, for over 150 years. In the Vinha Paz range, typical Dão grape varieties are used (touriga nacional, alfrocheiro, Tinta roriz and jaen, for reds; cross and malvasia, for whites). In the Vinha Paz range, there is a special wine, Othon, produced from old vines.

Quinta das Bágeiras Tribute wines

Quinta das Bágeiras is one of the most well-known and appreciated wine brands in the Bairrada region.Its producer, Mário Sérgio has always wanted to produce wines that reflect the quality and character of the region. In this way, Quinta das Bágeiras wines are made in the most natural way possible. Quinta das Bágeiras is one of the most well-known and appreciated wine brands in the Bairrada region.Its producer, Mári Sérgio has always wanted to produce wines that reflect the quality and character of the region. In this way, Quinta das Bágeiras wines are made in the most natural way possible The passion for winemaking by the family of Mário Sérgio. came to life through his grandfather Fausto. He was the first in the family to devote himself to the vineyard and the winery and he was the one who bought the first plots. He passed down his passion for the land to the generations that came after him, as well as the values he always stood by: hard-work, perseverance and integrity.Grandfather Fausto enjoyed elegant and fresh wines, with softer tannins and less alcohol content (thus allowing him to indulge in one more glass...). The wine named after him was created with these memories in mind, a wine which carries the simplicity and lightness of Fausto himself. Abel Nuno represents the second generation in the history of Quinta das Bágeiras. He was the one who took note of the best vineyard plots in Bairrada, small properties they have acquired over the last 25 years and, to this day, he is still the one who looks after them, in a wise, rigorous and caring way. This wine was created not only as an homage to Mário Sergio's father, but to the family as a whole. Abel always preferred wines with character, the strong and full structure of which make an impression and what they tried to accomplish here was a wine to his liking, white as well as red. Therefore, they also wanted to prove to themselves that it was possible to produce a great wine from vines that were "only" 15-years-old, but that are grown in an excellent terroir, mimicking the natural production of an old vineyard, through the mixture of grape varieties and the reduction of the younger vines' production. In 2017 Quinta das Bágeiras bottled 2000 bottles of its red reserve in a special edition commemorating the 30th anniversary of Quinta do Bill, a Portuguese folk-rock band. This red reserve is obtained from Baga grapes, from vines planted in the best clay-limestone soils in the region. Fermented in small mills, without destemming, it aged in new French 500 liter oak barrels for 18 months. Available for purchase!

DoDa - Two wine regions in the same bottle

Inspired by an old idea of Rolf Niepoort, Dirk joined Alvaro de Castro to blend the “perfect wine”. The innovative approach was the union of two different wine regions Dão and Douro. The blend of the different characteristics created an impressive wine with the freshness and elegance of Dão and the concentration and fine tannins of Douro. The first Dado was born in 2000, a blend of 50% Dão wine, from Quinta da Pellada and 50% Douro wine, from Quinta do Carril. Making the wine was actually the easiest part of the process. The challenge was to overcome all the legal problems related to the label approval. As a table wine the label could not mention: region involved , year of harvest, year of bottling, or the history of the wine... Nevertheless, the result was a lovely perfumed wine, with raspberry fruit aromas, richness and freshness on the palate, firm tannins, bright acidity, and with a creamy feel to the whole.

Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo

Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo is a place of extreme beauty in the heart of Douro valley and owned by Amorim family since 1999. The family connection to the wine comes from afar, through its connection with the export houses of Vila Nova de Gaia in the cork business. Meanwhile the dream came true and the project is now in the hands of the 4th generation of the family. With a story longer than 250 years, the property displays conserved structures and the cellar original building from 1764, after interventions by the architect Arnaldo Barbosa. The oenological rigor and the diversity of different 42 vineyard plots forced an alliance of traditional processes and sophisticated technology, adding two fully mechanized presses, wine fermentation tanks with different systems and more recently, the design of a small "Atelier" in ancient granite lagares - a small manual cellar that treats wines as study works to become the «grande reservas» of the house, all unique wines, authentic and high-quality, in a total of about 300000L. The Pomares range of this estate is positioned in the segment of gastronomic wines with high quality, but uncompromised, thus corresponding to the character of this new generation, which also shows a special taste for cuisine and looks for gourmet trends. Grainha Reserva Branco, a wine with an exuberant structure, and Grainha Reserva Tinto, a deep Douro with special precision, inherit the responsibility to do justice to the strong notoriety of the brand, owned by Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo. Quinta Nova Grande Reserva and Quinta Nova Refêrencia are two excellent wines that place their producer in a prominent place. The iconic Mirabilis Red 2017 (96-98 points), Mirabilis Branco 2018 (92-94 points) and the novelty Quinta Nova Aeternus 2017 (94-96 points) shine in the disputed ranking of international critic Mark Squires. For this renowned critic Mirabilis Tinto is probably the wine that will compete in the future to be the best of Quinta Nova's iconic wine collection. Aeternus, although very young, already shows personality and potential. As for white wine Mirabilis is undoubtedly a wine that reveals purity and adherence and represents one of the ex-libris of the property and the Douro region. Availabe for purchase!!!

Vinhos Verde by Niepoort

Niepoort is an independent family business since 1842. Through five generations, the business passed successfully from one Niepoort to the next Niepoort and in most cases older and younger generation worked side by side for a long period. From its wide range we chosse wines produced is the Vinho Verde region. OLO - stems from the best vineyards in the sub-region of Basto. It is a white wine inspired by the Olo River, which, with its impressive granite landscapes and waterfalls, is considered to be one of the most beautiful rivers of the Vinho Verde region. The abundance of water and granite in this area contributes to the minerality and freshness of the region’s terroir. The OLO is a serious, complex and beautifully harmonious wine. Very light in colour, almost crystalline, the OLO offers very complex and exceptionally linear aromas of stone, lemon, white fruit and ginger. This is an extremely graceful wine with abundant minerality, which thanks to its well-structured acidity, finishes with firmness, intensity and energy. OLO Sparkling Wine - result of a little experiment conducted in 2012 when it was decided to set aside a share of the OLO and not bottle. This quantity was kept in a small tank and bottled it the following January in order to produce a sparkling wine according to the traditional Champagne method. The result was very promising and repeated in the following year. That is how the Espumante OLO 2013 was created. This wine is elegant and delicate, showing its youth, fine mousse and beautiful balance. The wine’s acidity ensures a long and refreshing finish. This wine makes for an ideal aperitif, but also offers enough body to pair very nicely with shellfish. Teppo Peixe - was created to combine with Japanese cuisine, where the delicate and fine flavours are evident. It is a perfect wine to pair with Japanese cuisine or dishes with delicate flavours. Light and bright colour, the Teppo Peixe shows citrus and white flowers notes in the aroma. Slightly saline in the mouth, it is very delicate, enveloping and with a high acidity which allows a refreshing and crystalline finish. The light carbon dioxide present, when accompanied by dishes of Asian influence, raises the wine and works almost as a final shot to clear the palate. Light, discreet and elegant, is a very easy drinking wine Wanna Bi - It is a wine which offers a completely individual profile, distinctly different from the expressive and aromatic style which usually characterises this grape variety in the Minho region. As the name suggests, the “Wanabi” is a wine that wants to be a different kind of Alvarinho. This Alvarinho is also a wine of great elegance, with beautiful aromas of citrus and flowers harmonising with hints of tea leaves and wet stone. The subtle presence of wood lends the wine further aromatic complexity. On the palate the wine offers some body as well as vivacity and balance, while its acidity and minerality provide contrast for the wine’s delicate residual sweetness. With a long, creamy and complex finish, the Wanabi 2017 can be enjoyed young, although it also promises ageing potential. This wines are available for pruchase!!

Esporão wines reserve: red and white wine.

When it comes to wines, red wine, and white wine are the most sought after. The most recognized wine companies worldwide know it, so they have dedicated many of their operational years to the growth of their red and white wine reserves. In this sense, Esporão offers both types of wine and has taken care of the maturation time of each one, protecting the excellence of its raw material, in order to maintain its high quality. Red wine is the first wine that Esporão made and its creation dates back to 1985. It is one of the best Alentejo wines, a fact that can be verified thanks to its consistency and rich flavor. When you taste a little of the Esporão red wine, you can quickly recognize the aroma and flavor that characterizes the best productions of the territory where the Herdade do Esporão grapes are grown, the main element in the elaboration of this traditional product. In addition to following sustainable agricultural practices, the viticulture behind this wine allows its products to be one of the most optimal. In the case of red wine, grapes are harvested by hand and vinified in small capacity tanks with temperature control. Then, once the pressing is done, the wines are aged in American and French oak barrels for 12 months. Thanks to this, you get an exquisite red wine that maintains the traditional wealth of the region and respects the universal culture of wine. The production of white wine is a bit similar. The cultivation of the grapes with which it is made, also grapes from Herdade do Esporão, is carried out in a friendly way with the environment, ensuring the quality of its fruits and the rationalization of natural resources. They are harvested in the fresh morning and are vinified separately, after a partial stage of 6 months, French and American oak barrels with fine lees. The fantastic white wine of Esporão is creamy and has a volume and balance that give it a long and intense finish. It is full of fruit, contains notes of carambola (star fruit), grapefruit and lemon with hints of spices and a toasted and aromatic flavor. Red wine, meanwhile, is more dense and complex; it reveals notes of berries and blueberry jam and is flavored with hints of coffee and black pepper.
