Main Grape Varieties of the Winery

In the last decade, the owners rehabilitated 200 years old ruins located near the middle of their vineyards and built their wine cellar in the place. Currently, Medeiros Winery has 40 hectares of vineyards surrounding their cellar and nearby locations. The first vines planted here were about 400 years ago. The main types of grapes that grow here are Aragonez, Alicante Bouschet, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira, Arinto, Verdelho, Viognier, and Viosinho. The best grapes go into the production of their world-class red, white, and rosé wines.

 

Winner of Numerous National and International Awards

The workers handpick the best grapes and transport them to the winery for further processing. In the cellar, the wines’ fermentation takes place under controlled temperatures, after which the wines are rested. Finally, aging occurs in French oak barrels that give a great taste and aroma to the wines before the bottling. Medeiros Winery wines have won numerous national and international awards.
