Viticulture:
The Basto sub-region is the most inland area of the Vinho Verde region, with Mondim de Basto being the only municipality in Trás-os-Montes under this designation. Located at a medium-high altitude, it is naturally sheltered from maritime winds. The soils are predominantly granitic — the ideal terroir for producing mineral-style wines. The climate is more severe, with cold, rainy winters and hot, dry summers, favoring most white grape varieties, especially Alvarinho, Loureiro, Arinto, and Azal. The beauty of this rural region is only rivaled by the stunning Tâmega River, which surrounds all our vineyards.

Vinification:
Harvesting is done manually, using only grapes from our own vineyards, transported in 25 kg boxes. This is followed by total destemming, gentle pressing, and decantation. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats with temperature control. No malolactic fermentation or wood aging is used. The wine undergoes clarification and microfiltration immediately before bottling to ensure microbiological stability.

All our wines are 100% Vegan Friendly.

Carneiro Wines

We are a family winery in the Vinhos Verdes region, in Basto, an ancient land with links to vines and wine production, and in which we have deep family roots. When we started producing our TORDO wine from the Alvarinho variety, our “first born” wine, we wanted it to have a distinctive character, almost a personality of its own, although fresh and balanced as only white wines can be. So we kept Alberto in charge of the vineyard and started Cristiana to raise the wines, as if her children were, adding to the children who already had both in common.
We are a family and we are also winegrowers, motivated to inspire as many and as many as will come to cross our made wines, each year, with the grapes created in the lands we explore and care for with all dedication.
