Portugal Wine Firm gather boldness, terroir, authenticity and character in a perfect symbiosis between diversity and the genetic heritage of wine. It is a project of young producers, their wines and ideas framed in the most diverse regions of Portugal, presenting the best and most authentic expression in each of them.
The project was born from the love and rediscovery of the land. From families with close ties and links to wine, João de Gouveia Osório and Bernardo Theotónio Pereira embraced this challenge, sharing the same passion and philosophy.
The concept involves the exploitation of small plots of land in partnership with winegrowers and small producers, where the spirit of collaboration prevails in the management and maintenance of the vineyards. The next step involves the selection of the best grapes, creating authentic and genuine wines representative of the genetic heritage of each region.
Vinification
Minimal enological intervention. Each wine reference is a faithful interpretation of the terroir, preserving its unique identity.
Dão Region
Brand: Gouveio Osório
Flanked by rocky massifs, resting on poor granite soils, the Dão region, widely different in altitude, can reach 800 metres in height and drop down to 250 metres.
Surrounded by enveloping pine forests, the vineyards split into multiple sparse plots, often discontinuous with small areas. The mountains influence the climate, providing shelter from sea winds and continental influence.
Lafões Region
Brand: Ayres
Lafões is a small transition region between the Dão and Vinho Verde denominations, divided by the Vouga River, with granite, homogeneous, fertile and high acidity soils.
Region of Távora-Varosa
Brand: Belzebu
North-eastern Dão and southern Douro, the Távora-Varosa region is comprised of two high valleys (River Távora and River Varosa), poor and of low fertility, named "Terras do Demo" by Aquilino Ribeiro.
The vineyards are between 500 and 800 metres high, marked by an extreme climate with a strong continental influence. Granite soils with some schistose outcrops predominate.
Mirandês Plateau
Brand: Inves
Located in the extreme northeast of Portugal, the Planalto Mirandês is a surprising region. Composed of small plots of century-old vines planted in a peculiar goblet system and managed with low intervention as a result of the assessment of the specific climatic conditions: high altitude, significant thermal variation, low rainfall and the consistent presence of winds at vineyard level).
