Wines
We offer three different lines from the winery: the Casa de Mouraz, the Antonio Lopes Ribeiro and the no sulphites added. The former one is located in the heart of the Dao region where they grow a vast selection of white grape varieties. The different soil types (mostly granite and clay) accommodate pine, oak, chestnut and cork trees amongst the vine providing a sustainable and healthy coexistence.
The Antonio Lopes Riberiro vineyards are situated outside of the Dao region, and are distributed throughout Douro, Vinho Verde and Alentejo. There are old parcels planted with indigenous grape varieties, the Limia Valley’s cooler climate and granite soils cultivate rather lighter, refreshing wines.
The ‘no sulphites added’ line are easily recognisable by the lovely labels picturing the 3 ‘little’ helper of the vineyards: Chibu the goat, Nina the cat and Bolinha the Maltese dog. A very interesting technique is used to preserve the wine, instead of using sulphites, the producers add dried chestnuts blossom to the crushed grapes. The natural product is found in the forest around the winery and is known to be a healthy medical plant, often used in herbal medicine. The wines present an elegant character, mineral sometimes herbal and earthy.
