A&D Wines

The cool climate here in northern Portugal makes organic farming considerably more difficult than in the warm, dry south. Alexandre Gomes and his wife Dialina Azevedo began growing their own wine on 5 ha in 1991; the Casa do Arrabalde estate has been in the family for many years. An impressive 40 ha have since been added, divided between two properties: Quinta dos Espinhosos and Quinta de Santa Teresa, a dreamy fairytale castle being slowly brought back to life with great effort and affection, and now welcoming travellers in style. Avesso, Chardonnay, Arinto, Alvarinho and Malvasia are made into white wine, while Touriga Nacional and Vinhão become rosé. A red-wine-free zone, so to speak. This is a logical, consistent choice, since the climate, granite soils and altitudes of up to 500 m above sea level provide ideal conditions for fine wines with relatively low alcohol and a cool style.
