Granvinhos launches a new wine on the market

The Granvinhos group has just launched Quinta de S. Salvador da Torre Loureiro DOC Vinho Verde 2023, the first wine resulting from the partnership between Anselmo Mendes and Jorge Dias. This milestone comes about a year and a half after the acquisition of the historic Quinta de S. Salvador da Torre in Viana do Castelo, consolidating the ambition of both winemakers to join forces to create wines of excellence.

In 2022, Granvinhos acquired the quinta from the Soja de Portugal Group, a property over 400 years old, located on the right bank of the Lima River, just 10 kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean. With 37 hectares, 30 of which are vineyards, the property benefits from a unique terroir, characterised by granite and schist soils, and a perfect microclimate for producing elegant wines. ‘I believe in the future of Vinho Verde and, in particular, in the potential of the Alvarinho and Loureiro grape varieties. These are products adapted to new times and consumption habits, but they need to be valorised by connecting them to the production areas and the Atlantic diet, where Portugal has a unique offer,’ says Jorge Dias, Managing Director of Granvinhos.
