Wine Story

Quinta de Santiago is a family-owned winery in Monção, part of Portugal’s renowned Vinho Verde region. Established in 1899, the winery blends family traditions with innovative techniques to craft exceptional wines, particularly from the Alvarinho grape. Its commitment to sustainability and artisanal production ensures wines that reflect the unique terroir of this northern region. The estate is located in the Monção and Melgaço sub-region, known for its granite-rich soils and cool climate. This area benefits from the influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the nearby Minho River, creating a microclimate ideal for grape cultivation. These conditions give the wines their vibrant acidity, minerality, and aromatic intensity. Quinta de Santiago specializes in Alvarinho, a premium white grape variety celebrated for its aromatic complexity and crisp, elegant profile. Modern winemaking techniques, such as temperature-controlled fermentation, are employed to preserve the grape’s natural aromas and flavors. Aging in stainless steel or neutral oak barrels adds complexity without overpowering the wines’ freshness. Quinta de Santiago stands out for its authentic approach, combining traditional values with modern innovation. Its dedication to sustainable practices, focus on quality, and deep connection to the land make it a true ambassador for Vinho Verde.
