Past, Present and
Future.
Armando Areias founded QUINTA DOS ENCADOS, having acquired the property in the 1970s when he began planting fruit trees. A few years later, the first vineyard was planted, which currently extends over a property of a total of 14 hectares.
Armando Areias' children wanted to keep their patriarch's passion alive by continuing to produce and bottle the wine that was born at QUINTA DOS ENCADOS. Today, Maria José Areias and Rui Carvalho de Azevedo, both doctors, together with their family, perpetuate the tradition. The memory of Armando Areias is symbolically preserved in every bottle of wine that is born at QUINTA DOS ENCADOS through his signature.
The dedication and investment of recent years has resulted in the emergence of national and international awards and distinctions, but above all in the growth and reputation of QUINTA DA ESCADOS Wine as one of the bastions of the best that the Vinhos Verdes Wine Region has to offer.
This personal project, more than a business, has become a tribute to the founder and, with great family pride, has been passed down from generation to generation.
Welcome to Quinta dos Encados
A Story (and a Wine)
to Share.
Wines are meant to be shared, just like good stories. At Quinta dos ENCADOS we believe we have both.
We therefore invite all interested parties to visit us to share first-hand the history, wine and challenges of Vinho Verde.
