Álvaro de Castro - preisgekröntes Weingut der Dão Region, Portugal

Àlvaro de Castro is famous for its legendary wines and its history. The winery has been family-owned since the 16th century and despite this rich history, its down-to-earth and simplicity astonishes.

It produces great wines with local grape varieties, but winemaker Àlvaro de Castro tries not to follow certain trends or to copy others. He follows his own instincts and often works in an unconventional way. For example, Álvaro de Castro's Carrocel red wine passes through several presses during its fermentation process, resulting in a truly elegant wine.

Álvaro de Castro is a leader in the Portuguese wine world and is considered an ambassador for the Dão region.
