Kompassus

Kompassus wines are crafted according to what the vineyard gives, more than following any market trends. These are wines produced in limited quantities, with the goal of preserving the maximum potential of the vines and the quality of the wine in each specific year. With a small vineyard area, the grapes are entirely hand-harvested and, for the most part, come from vines over 70 years old.

These wines are positioned in a medium-high quality segment, which is reflected across all product lines. The vineyards are planted with a higher density between rows, around 6000 vines/ha, resulting in narrower rows, about 1.70 m apart. This old practice, used in Kompassus vineyards since always, is now on the verge of extinction.

Winemaking: Anselmo Mendes, a specialist in fresh and Atlantic whites and a master in Alvarinhos, is a great admirer of the authentic wines from Bairrada. He works alongside Magda Costa, Kompassus’ resident winemaker, in crafting the wines.

Kompassus Vinhos

João Póvoa began producing branded wines in 1991 with Quinta de Baixo, becoming the first individual reference producer in the municipality of Cantanhede.

Since 2005, the company has been called Kompassus and maintains a philosophy of wine production based on family roots and traditions. It is dedicated to producing wines of excellence, with winemaking methods and viticulture practices that involve minimal intervention. The company is owned by João Póvoa, an ophthalmologist by profession and a farmer by passion. Since the age of 8, João has been involved with the terroir of Bairrada, falling in love with the Baga grape variety, which became the base for his red wines and sparkling wines. A large part of the grapes still comes from old vines over 70 years old.

With 30 years of dedication to branded wine production, João Póvoa has built a solid reputation over the years. His family had already been producing wine in the Bairrada region, and it was with his mother and father that João learned the first secrets of the region, developing a passion that has accompanied him throughout his life. Today, his wines are recognized for their finesse, refinement, and depth, having earned distinctions and recognition since 1991.
