About the Producer Quinta Do Ameal
The Quinta do Ameal family estate was founded in 1710 and is located in the heart of Portugal’s Minho region, the cradle of vinho verde. Today, it is run by Pedro Araujo, an expert in the Loureiro grape variety which is main component of vinho verde. The vineyard, which spans some 12 hectares, is organically managed. Wines from this domaine have fully earned their status as some of the best white wines in the country.
