A family estate since 1997
Quinta Picouto de Cima is a family-run Vinho Verde estate in Gominhães, Guimarães. The wines in this shop are made with grapes from the estate's vineyard and vinified in the property's winery, from harvest to bottling. An order here is a purchase made directly from the family that produces them.
The estate was acquired in 1997 by Albertino Rodrigues Ferreira and has been cared for since then by the same family. There are 10 hectares of vineyards in the Ave sub-region, in the Vinho Verde Region, with more than seven grape varieties from the region. O Alvarinho, the Arinto and the Loureiro white wines, and the Espadeiro Give the rosé.
The Atlantic climate and the granitic soils give these wines the freshness, lightness and lively acidity that distinguish vinho verde. The full history of the family and the property is on the page The Estate.
