Manzwine Launches Creative Competition to Celebrate Jagoz Wine and the Essence of Ericeira

Manzwine, the renowned wine producer with roots in the Mafra region, has launched a label competition for its latest project, Jagoz Wine. This wine was conceived as a tribute to the history, culture and essence of the town of Ericeira, reflecting the unique spirit of the ‘people of the sea’ that defines this community.
The competition, which runs until 28 February 2025, is exclusively for artists born or resident in Ericeira. Each participant can submit up to two label proposals that capture the deep connection between the town, the sea and the local identity. The initiative aims to involve the artistic community and value the creative talent that is part of Ericeira’s soul.
Proposals must be submitted via a dedicated page on the Manzwine website (www.manzwine.com/jagoz), and participants must prove their connection to the town by means of an identification document or proof of residence.
A jury made up of representatives from the Ericeira Parish Council, Mafra Town Hall and Manzwine will be responsible for assessing the submissions. The 10 best labels will be displayed in Rua Dr Eduardo Burnay, in the heart of the town, during the month of March 2025, as well as on Manzwine’s online platform.

Popular voting will play an important role in this process, allowing residents and visitors to choose their favourite proposals via a QR code system. The weight of the popular vote will be 20 per cent in the final decision, which will culminate in the announcement of the winner in May 2025, during a special event open to the community.
Jagoz Wine will be made exclusively from indigenous Portuguese grape varieties, in close collaboration with local catering professionals. This project not only celebrates the traditions of the town of Ericeira, but also reflects Manzwine’s commitment to boosting the regional economy, highlighting local economic agents and the cultural value of the region.
The competition will be widely publicised, covering social networks, newsletters, billboards and institutional partnerships with Mafra Town Hall and Ericeira Parish Council. Posters and other communication materials will be used to ensure maximum community participation.
Manzwine invites all local artists to take part in this initiative that combines wine, art and cultural identity. More details and regulations are available at www.manzwine.com/jagoz.
