Portugal’s north-western strip between the Douro and Minho Rivers, the Atlantic Ocean and the mountains, is the home of the vast Vinho Verde region. Facing the sea and higher towards the inland, it is a cool region with a mild climate, crossed by rivers which demarcate its 9 sub-regions. Famed above all for its white wines, it is buzzing with new expressions of traditional grape varieties in different terroirs.

Vinhos Verdes

The connection of Sogrape’s founding Guedes family to the region runs deep, naturally resulting in the purchase of the historic Quinta de Azevedo in 1982. Today, these lands give birth to outstanding white wines of the Loureiro and Alvarinho grape varieties. Located near Barcelos, and dating back to the 11th century, the farm’s manor and tower were rescued from near ruin for future generations to make a one-of-a-kind estate which dignifies the region.

With a history dating back to Portugal’s earliest beginnings, and acquired by Sogrape in 1982, Quinta de Azevedo and its emblematic manor are located in Lama, Barcelos, in the Vinho Verde region. With a total area of 41 hectares, 34 are planted with vines divided between the region’s ruling grape variety – Loureiro – which benefits from its natural adaptation to the terroir of the Cávado sub-region, and its most emblematic variety – Alvarinho – of great notoriety both nationally and internationally.
