Quinta de Arcossó Arinto White
Mr. Amílcar chose to ferment this white wine, an Arinto from Quinta de Arcossó, directly in the Vidago region, 450 meters above sea level in Trás-os-Montes (Ribeira de Oura). He adopted a unique approach: 80% of the fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with 'bâtonnage', while the remaining 20% was fermented in French oak barrels. After this process, this delicious Arinto was aged in bottles for 30 months.

Quinta de Arcossó, located in Trás-os-Montes, is a wine project dedicated to artisanal wine production. Using a minimalist winemaking approach, inspired by ancient techniques dating back to Roman times, the farm produces distinctive wines known for their notable acidity, ripe fruit and robust tannins. These wines, aged over time, are produced in limited quantities due to the artisanal care dedicated to each bottle.
Quinta de Arcossó Reserva Red
Quinta de Arcossó Reserva Red is a notable example, the result of the distinct terroir of Arcossó, Vidago, in the Ribeira de Oura sub-region. Originating from an exclusive plot of 10.5 hectares, part of a 12-hectare vineyard planted in 2003, this wine reflects the excellence of viticulture in the region. Located on a slope to the south, at an altitude of 375 meters and with a slope of 20%, the granite soil gives the wine unique characteristics. Traditional winemaking in a press, with foot treading, followed by a 12-month aging period in French oak barrels, both new and used, culminates in a period of maturation in the cellar for 6 months after bottling.
This careful elaboration results in a wine of intense color and aroma, where floral and ripe fruit notes stand out, in perfect harmony with the elegance of the wood. On the palate, Quinta de Arcossó Reserva Red reveals a robust structure, mature flavors and exceptional freshness, accompanied by vigorous tannins that promise a long, full-flavored finish. This wine is not just a drink, it is an enriching experience, ideal for the most special moments, reflecting the passion and tradition of Portuguese viticulture.

Adega Mayor Maestro Rabigato White Magnum
After manual harvesting, the grapes were quickly sent to the cellar, where they were destemmed and gently pressed. The must, clarified by the cold, fermented slowly for approximately 2 weeks in stainless steel vats, with controlled temperature. With a lemon yellow color and a bright appearance, this is an aromatically discreet wine, of medium intensity, which privileges the notes of green apple, lime and a vegetal character balanced by a pungent minerality. In the mouth it is “full” and vibrant. The finish is persistent and pleasantly confirms the mineral character of the nose. Contains sulfites.
Adega Mayor Maestro Chardonnay White Magnum
A golden yellow wine, true to the variety, it presents fine and complex aromas, with suggestions of minerality, ripe orange, cream and a light touch of smoke, harmoniously balanced.
In the mouth, it reveals a fatty and structured texture, accompanied by soft notes of sweet tropical and a discreet acidity in the background, giving it freshness and highlighting its excellent gastronomic versatility. An Alentejo white of great complexity, robust body and an intriguing mix of flavors.
Casa Ferreirinha Castas Escondidas Red Magnum

This unusual combination results in an original wine that does not neglect the character of the region. Contains sulfites.
Martha’s LBV 2019 Ruby
Intense ruby color. Intense aroma, notes of ripe black fruit in harmony with fresher notes of plum and subtle balsamic notes that give it complexity. In the mouth, the black fruit is even more marked and engaging. High quality, ripe tannins, combined with correct acidity. Excellent persistence, once again marked by an intense fruit flavor.
Poeira Desalinhados Pelegrino Red
Dust tries to be a balanced and elegant wine. In general the wines of the Douro are supported in the tannin, but the Dust is sustained in the acidity. A very drinkable and appetizing wine when new but at the same time has the capacity to evolve. I want each wine to be the mirror of the vineyards that give it origin, maintaining its profile but following the variations that occur in the vineyard year after year. Contains Sulfites.
