About this Winery

Monção’s winery was founded on the 11th of October of 1958 thanks to the initiative of 25 wine growers. It is located in the middle of the delimited “Vinhos Verdes” region in the sub-region of Monção e Melgaço (North-Western part of Portugal – boarder towns with Galicia-Spain) and the use of the term “Vinho Verde Alvarinho” was recognized and exclusively given to this region.

The guarantee of its products is due to its raw material, allied with a careful selection of its grapes when entering the winery, combined with the modern technology of winemaking and personal contact with its customers. Recognized nationwide, its wines are also enjoyed and valued in other countries around Europe, Africa, North and South America.
