Founded in 1790, the estate is nestled on the south-facing banks of the River Douro near the town of Alpendurada. Its old vines and prime terroir – granite soils and cool Atlantic influence – give the wines exceptional freshness and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGrande Escolha\u003c\/strong\u003e is made primarily from the Avesso grape, with a small portion of Arinto. The grapes are hand-harvested and vinified with precision to preserve aromatics and acidity. There's no oak – just stainless steel fermentation and a short period on fine lees to build texture and finesse. It's Vinho Verde made with care and built to impress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it’s made:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMostly Avesso, with a touch of Arinto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-picked grapes from estate vineyards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFermented in stainless steel to retain freshness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged briefly on fine lees for added complexity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinho Verde DOC, Portugal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Avesso, Arinto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVegan:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry, zesty white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is grown-up Vinho Verde – bright and breezy, but with texture and structure too.
