Description
Quinta da Viçosa is one of the largest vineyards in the Group, with a total of 36 ha, and is located near Estremoz. In this vineyard, now organic, winemaker João Portugal Ramos decided to plant different varieties, national and foreign, so that, each year, he could observe the different behaviors of each plot. Since 2001, in years that he considers extraordinary, he has launched this blend of two grape varieties onto the market, always one native and one international, seeking to offer a different, structured and at the same time elegant wine, a pure result of the land that gives it origin.
João Portugal Ramos plants the first 5 hectares of vineyards in Estremoz, where he has lived since 1988, starting his personal project. Estremoz is the first place chosen by João Portugal Ramos to make his own wines, after his long career as a consulting oenologist in the creation of wines in the main wine-growing regions of Portugal.
João Portugal Ramos Group wines are present all over the world, being leaders in sales of Portuguese wines in some countries.
Today, the winemaker has two of his five children by his side, João Maria in the oenology department and Filipa in the marketing department, continuing the family business.
