A Alderiz Farm Quinta de Alderiz is a wine estate located in the municipality of Monção, in the heart of the Minho Valley. A family-owned property since the mid-20th century, it has been in the hands of the Pinheiro family for generations and is dedicated to the production of Alvarinho wine in about 12 hectares of continuous vineyard.
The vineyards, with an average age of 25 years, are located in granitic-clay soils and benefit from the very particular microclimatic conditions of this territory. It is in this balance between soil, climate and weather that the Alvarinho grape variety finds ideal conditions to express all its complexity and breadth.

At Quinta de Alderiz, innovation coexists naturally with respect for tradition and knowledge accumulated over generations. It is said that Joaquim Pinheiro (1910–1985), a pioneer and tireless advocate of the Alvarinho variety, had a habit of talking to the vines while tending to them. A simple gesture, but one that reveals a deeply humanised and passionate relationship with the land.
More than just a wine producer, Quinta de Alderiz is a place where memory, knowledge and territory intertwine. A place that is truly a must-see.
