About this Winery
At Quinta do Ferro, the focus has been on native grape varieties, producing only Portuguese grapes. These include Avesso, a native grape of Gestaçô Baião, a unique and original white grape with a strong and complex personality; Arinto, a white grape planted throughout the country, aromatic, fresh, with good acidity and minerality; and finally, a grape often misunderstood, vinhão, a red and teinturier grape, with a strong character, mainly planted in the northern part of the country, which, due to the characteristics of the Quinta's terroir, loses its typical roughness and gains elegance and smoothness.
The two main vineyards have a special microclimate and are on granitic soil, which gives them minerality, salinity, and a vegetal touch. One vineyard is located at almost 400 meters above sea level, known as the riverside vineyard; the other is at over 600 meters above sea level, considered the mountain vineyard. This is the main vineyard, the mountain one, and it is from here that the grapes for the sparkling wine are harvested.
Quinta do Ferro has received awards nationally and internationally and has received good reviews from major opinion makers worldwide, such as Robert Parker and Sarah Ahmed.

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.
