Chapeleiro

The name Chapeleiro, comes from the word “Hatter” in honor of Carlos Fernandes’ grandfather Belmiro who was known as the “chapeleiro” in their small village of Vilarelho, just east of Porto. After refurbishing the family farmhouse in 2008, Carlos and his family decided to plant their first vineyard respecting the morphology and organic properties of the land. The excellent solar exposure, unique terroir bathed by the Tâmega River, and devoted practice of sustained viticulture allows Carlos and his team to grow ripe, high quality fruit full of character and freshness. The highly skilled winemaking team use the latest in technical and technological winemaking techniques to create high quality wines with a sense of place. Carlos is passionate for creating experiences that shatter expectations, but he does so while leading with authenticity, and honoring the past.

The unique name Chapeleiro “Hatter,” also has a family origin and it is a tribute to Grandfather Belmiro who was known as the “Hatter of Avessadas.’
