Aveleda

2024 Harvest in the Vinho Verde region
The winter was the warmest since 1931, but early-season rainfall replenished soil water reserves. Spring continued this trend, ensuring essential hydration for the vines. The summer was dry and warm but without extremes, favoring balanced ripening. The result? Wines with excellent structure, presence, and aromatic intensity that balance minerality and fruit.

Winemaking Process:
Produced from the main native grape varieties of the Vinho Verde region, Aveleda Vinho Verde perfectly reflects the region’s character. Grapes are harvested at night and gently pressed at low pressure, followed by alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve the grapes’ aromas. Before bottling, the wine is filtered and cold stabilized.

Food Pairings:

Appetizers: codfish cakes, pies, olives.

Main dishes: chicken or vegetable curry, grilled white fish, grilled vegetables.

Aveleda

Aveleda is a name which spans several generations. The first records of the sale of bottled wine date back to 1870, with Manuel Pedro Guedes (1837-1899), known for his strong enterprising spirit and believed to be the founder of the business as we know it today. His work bore fruit and the quality of the Aveleda wines started to be recognised, as the gold medals won in the international competitions in Berlin (1888) and Paris (1889) attest.

Today the Guedes family still owns 100% of the company, always committed to maintaining this family legacy which spans several generations. The son of Manuel Pedro Guedes, Fernando Guedes da Silva da Fonseca (1871-1946) continued his father’s work, significantly increasing the production capacity at the Estate. He had 7 children and it was Roberto Van-Zeller Guedes (1899-1966) who led the family business, dedicating his whole life to working at Aveleda. The 4th generation includes the six children of Roberto Van-Zeller Guedes: Fernando, Luís, António, Maria Isabel, Maria Helena and Roberto – who today manage the company’s future, together with the following generation: 14 cousins who make up the 5th generation.
