Quintas de Melgaço

“When you drink our wines, you drink memories and achievements. Lives are celebrated, people are honored. Our wines have a strong personality, just like our people.”

Our founder, Amadeu Abílio Lopes, in the middle of the 20th century headed to Brazil and, as a result of an unbreakable spirit, established himself as a successful industrialist. A success that never shook the desire to return.

He returned and saw, for his homeland, the same horizons that he had challenged. He launched the challenge to other children of Melgaço: to take the Alvarinho that is made here to the world.

The Quintas de Melgaço company was then born, uniting hundreds of small and medium-sized wine producers around a greater good: their wine. United, in one movement, to promote the potential of the region's wines and the Alvarinho grape variety. We are not a single house or a single production. We are each of the fields of our more than 530 producers.

An important driver of community development that, from Melgaço, opens the doors to the world.
