ALVARINHO “Conde Villar” Quinta das Arcas produce wines in and around Vinho Verde, in the North of Portugal. The company was founded in 1985 by Antonio Manteiro, is still run by him and his family and each year seem to go from strength to strength. The grapes are handpicked on the estate so each bunch must pass the strict quality checks of the Manteiro family before they even make it to the winery. The strict approach to quality of the grapes ensures the winemakers at Conde Villar have the best start in creating wines that are so complex. Handpicked grapes are immediately de-stemmed and then crushed to capture fresh aromas. Fermentation occurs at low temperatures in stainless steel vats. VERDEJO “Protos” The guiding philosophy of Protos is ‘quality above all’ which is reflected in their winemaking. The Bodega has 1,400Ha of Tempranillo and Verdejo, planted on south-facing hillsides in order to get the optimal amount of sunlight for ripening. These vineyards are watched over by technicians and experts throughout the growth process in order to ensure the highest quality yields, before being harvested by hand. GRAUBURGUNDER “Peth Wetz Estate” Founded in 2001, Christian Peth and his wife Maja Luise cultivate a 30ha vineyard around the towns of Bermersheim, Dalsheim and Westhofen, where his vines grow in loess and limestone soils.The wines are both striking and confident. Christian loves powerful, tannic and concentrated wines of distinctive character and focuses on not just on German classics, but also a range of classic French varieties. The decision to produce international red wines of a distinct regional character is one that reflects their deepest convictions rather than the latest trends.
