Espigueiro Vinho Verde

Winemaker Casa de Compostela on the winery

“Casa de Compostela is located in the green heart of Portugal’s Minho region, where the Atlantic Ocean has a significant influence on the climate and viticulture. Our estate is a family business and includes extensive agricultural land alongside our vineyards. We focus primarily on white wines, placing local grape varieties and the fresh character of the region at the heart of our work. By combining modern winemaking techniques with great attention to fruit quality, we create approachable wines that reflect the vibrant character of northern Portugal.”

And on Vinho Verde, Portugal

“Our Espigueiro is a blend of three Portuguese grape varieties: Arinto, Fernão Pires and Loureiro. The grapes grow in the Vinho Verde region, where the mild, humid Atlantic climate encourages slow ripening and helps preserve natural acidity. After harvesting, the grapes are carefully selected and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks, preserving the wine’s fresh fruit aromas. The result is a light, refreshing wine with notes of green apple, pear and citrus and a lively acidity.”
