Quinta de Monforte Loureiro

"Azal is variety of a grape for a monovarietal. So is Padeiro de Basto. From vinhão we make a rosé and also a red. The sparkling wine is in the caha, the new winery will open doors in early 2023, followed by the tourism facility."

"The originality of the wines of Quinta de Monforte is born from the place. Set on terraces supported by granite walls, a peculiarity uncommon in vinho verde, the estate's vineyards benefited from a major intervention when entrepreneur Daniel Rocha acquired the property in 2014."

"The originality of the place defines the project. Coming from vineyards on terraces of granite walls, the new wines of Quinta de Monforte are versatile, light and smooth and yet complex and structured. The modernity of Vinhos Verdes also passes through Penafiel."A originalidade do lugar define o projeto. Oriundos de vinhas em terraços de muros de granito, os novos vinhos da Quinta de Monforte são versáteis, leves e suaves e ainda complexos e estruturados. A modernidade dos Vinhos Verdes também passa por Penafiel."

"The launch of the first Quinta de Monforte wines symbolizes the start of a more ambitious project that includes the expansion of the vineyard area (currently 40 hectares), the construction of a new winery and a 30-room tourism facility."

"There is a new producer in the Vinhos Verdes region. It is called Quinta de Monforte. It is located in Penafiel, in the sub-region of Vale do Sousa. And it has just made its debut with the launch of four wines. They are all from the 2020 harvest. They are signed by the winemaker Francisco Gonçalves".

"The new wines from Quinta de Monforte are versatile, light and smooth and yet complex and structured. The modernity of Vinhos Verdes also passes through Penafiel.

"Integrated in a hillside overlooking the city of Penafiel, Quinta de Monforte has the typical charm of the manor houses of the Vinhos Verdes region and also a discreet modernity. So it is also with the wines produced there: aromatic, light and fresh, but equally mineral and structured wines, along the lines of the more complex wines that the region has come to value."

Quinta de Monforte recently launched its new wines by the will of Daniel Rocha, a young businessman from Penafiel. The plan began in 2014 with the purchase of the farm, there are 100 héctares of which 40 are from the vineyard, but the taste goes back a long way."
