Casa Ermelinda Freitas Winery: A Commitment to Quality

Founded in 1920 by Deonilde Freitas, Casa Ermelinda Freitas Vinhos has a rich history in winemaking. After Deonilde, Germana Freitas took over, followed by Ermelinda Freitas, who led the winery after the passing of her husband, Manuel João de Freitas.

From the start, the winery has prioritized the quality of its vineyards and wines.

Initially, the winery produced and sold unbranded wines in bulk. It wasn't until 1997, under the leadership of Ermelinda and her daughter Leonor, that they began crafting their own branded wines. The first bottled wine was the red “Terras do Pó tinto,” marking a new chapter in their winemaking journey.

A Diverse Selection of Wine Styles

Leonor Freitas inherited 60 hectares of vineyards primarily planted with Castelão and Fernão Pires grapes in Fernando Pó, Palmela. To enhance the winery's offerings, she introduced a variety of grape types. Today, Casa Ermelinda Freitas Vinhos spans 440 hectares, cultivating an impressive array of grapes, including Touriga Nacional, Syrah, Gewurztraminer, Carménère, Trincadeira, Alvarinho, Sauvignon Blanc, and Verdelho.

We love the Vinha Do Fava so we visited the site. They made us very welcome and set up a sampling of some of their other wines. We had a really good experience. Go and try it. We couldn’t buy their Rocksand wine which we also love

Visited in May for tour and tasting, very friendly host and very interesting. I'm not a lover of white wine but the Alvarinho was super delicious and converted me - just a shame I can't buy in UK. Will definitely visit again and would highly recommend 👌

It is a good idea to be sure that it is properly designed, with high levels of confidence and a connection to the children of Sra Leonor Freitas. It's a familiar history of the business, which has a long history of wine. Soberba prova de vinhos e almoço. Um Bem haja a todos.

Excellent, a fabulous ecological tour, the guide is knowledgeable about the entire winemaking process, apart from the history of the winery from its beginnings, and at the end the tasting, great, 100 percent recommended. High quality wines
