O Produtor, tasting note published in June 13th 2024
Yellow, with a great complexity of citrus fruit and balsamic elements on the nose.
On the palate, it has a smooth, structured, and mineral taste.
A persistent wine with good acidity that provides a pleasant freshness.

About this Winery
The owners of these gardens also wanted to take advantage of some existing vineyards, creating new vineyards in these exceptional spaces, where once there were vegetable gardens and orchards, that take advantage of the positive impact of biodiversity, dry stone walls, native vegetation and hedges, some centenary, that preserve the habitat and the species that are in them, improving the production of grapes and wine.
Thus, a new vineyard and wine project is born from the best plots of these properties, in a balanced and natural environment, favouring the quality dimension as its inseparable partner.
The union of these various families and their properties in the village of Santar, Casa dos Condes de Santar e Magalhães, Casa dos Linhares Ibérico Nogueira, Hotel Valverde Santar Vila Jardim, Nossa Senhora da Piedade and Casa da Magnólia, brought several beneficial valences to the project, The Casa dos Condes de Santar e Magalhães added to this component the long experience in the wine tradition in the region and in the country, this family legacy being brought by Pedro de Vasconcellos e Souza, the “Pater” winemaker of this project.
His substantive career, not only in the creation of Casa de Santar wines but also of Herdade do Freixo in the Alentejo, are inseparable marks of a personality that manages to understand the spirit of the place and make us savour its authenticity. His passion for this region, which he considers to be his birthplace, has given him yet another challenge that is the crowning achievement of a life dedicated to wine excellence.
The study of the land, the grape varieties, the clones, the attentive listening to the wisdom of the ancients, combined with technological innovation, are parameters that have been thoroughly taken into account.
The inclusive nature of the project, its dialoguing dimension and plurality of skills, was another important angle in this achievement that we are honoured to present to you. Enjoy these nectars.

Great taste
This wine is absolutely delicious, beautifully balanced, with a full flavour and a joy to drink. I thoroughly recommend it and the company.
I have been drinking this wine since around 1974, on a business trip to Matosinhos. Medium dry and fruity, with a very pleasant nose. Superbly drinkable, as an aperitif or to accompany fish/shellfish. My first experience was with locally caught clams. None of the harsh dryness of some of the dryer white wines.
A delighfull fragrant. white, ideal for a warm spring evening. Delivery was swift (next day), bottle arrived encased in a well protected package. Well done!
I just happened to buy this wine and tried it to see how it was good. All I can say is that it presents a lovely translucent ruby color, characteristic of the grape, with a delicate, almost ethereal shimmer in the glass. It’s brighter at the rim, hinting at its lighter body and aromatic nature and of course, it taste delicious.
Light, crisp, and just a little fizzy. Perfect for summer barbecues or with seafood. Easy to drink and always a crowd-pleaser!
Lovely smooth red with notes of plum and a hint of spice. Tastes way more expensive than it is! Perfect with grilled meats or cheese. Fast deliver as well.
I've had some great red wines from the Alentejo region in the past, but this white has opened my eyes to some really great white wines from this beautiful part of Portugal.
This is my go to Vinho Verde. It's light and refreshing and is a really pleasant wine to drink. Portuguese Vinho Verdes are unique among white wines I've tried in having that lovely crisp, dry quality that I so love.
A very enjoyable wine, delivered quickly and efficiently.
Very good
Wine was great and the shipping was super fast! Highly recommended
I lectured in Portugal during the ‘70’s, ‘80’s and ‘90’s.
‘ The Vinho verdhe from Moncao was an absolute favourite which I enjoyed greatly in the Fado houses of Alfama . The Muralhas is not only a nostalgic reminder of good friends but a reminder of the guality and extreme drinkability of one of the great historic wines of Portugal.
A safe and quick delivery. The wine is delicious, perfect as a light drink at lunch or with cheese or fish. Really enjoyed it! Will buy more.
Very impressed with the quality of my order, both the content inside the bottles and the delivery. Will be ordering again for sure.
