About this Winery

Hugo Mendes’ journey into wine was anything but ordinary. After earning a degree in Biotechnological Engineering in 2005, he discovered his true calling in the vineyards. That same year he joined Quinta da Murta in Bucelas, where his talent quickly shone, rising from cellar hand to Head Winemaker by 2010. Along the way, he earned the nickname “The Wizard Apprentice” through his popular blog, where he demystified the art of winemaking for a new generation of enthusiasts.

By 2016, Hugo’s restless curiosity pushed him to break new ground. He launched Portugal’s first crowdfunding campaign for wine, inviting “patrons” to pre-purchase bottles at special prices. A bold idea that not only funded his independent projects but also challenged the traditional belief that winemaking demanded heavy upfront investment.

In 2019, he left Quinta da Murta to dedicate himself fully to his own label. Today, Hugo brings overlooked Portuguese grapes into the spotlight, crafting expressive wines from Lisboa varieties like Fernão Pires, Vital, and Arinto.
