The wines of the Vine of the Virtues intend to express the values of the region, and therefore they use the name of each virtue in its Latin etymology.
Humanitas - charity or generosity, which opposes greed
Vinha das Virtudes, a project that has as its main inspiration the seven virtues of the epic poem of Prudencio, a Roman poet who lived between the years 348 and 410. It portrays in Psichomachia a battle between virtues and vices, which illustrates the struggle of soul against the seven deadly sins, in which virtues always triumph.
<p></p><p>Anselmo Mendes was born and raised in Monção. It was there that since childhood he became familiar with the culture of the vineyard and the production of wine.<br />The Alvarinho grape variety and its wine, produced there, entered his life in such a way that today Anselmo Mendes and Alvarinho are confused</p>
<p></p><p>The Volcanic Series are wines of volcanic origin, where the soils, poor and stony, challenge the very definition of agricultural soil. In this almost "mother rock", in the middle of the Atlantic and at the base of Pico Mountain, pure and saline wines are born.</p>
<p></p><p><span>When you taste a Conceito wine, you can taste its essence - our love for nature; respect for climate and soil’s characteristics and the ambition to do the best with what our land can produce.</span></p>
<p></p><p>The winemakers Anselmo Mendes and Diogo Fonseca Lopes present, after a two-year break, the Magma and Muros de Magma wines, both of the Verdelho variety, resuming a project that began in 2011. This wine is produced in Biscoitos, the only demarcated wine production area in Terceira Island, Azores, appearing as a product with unique characteristics worldwide.</p>
<p></p> <p>The Adega do Cantor or Winery of the Singer is situated in Guia, a few kilometres northwest of Albufeira, in central Algarve. It was built to produce wine, principally the Vida and Onda Nova wines, from three surrounding Quintas, Quinta do Moinho, Quinta do Miradouro and Vale do Sobreiro</p> <p></p> <p></p>
<p></p><p>In Zambujeira do Mar, where the high temperatures of the Alentejo are mitigated by the Atlantic, the concentration typical of inland viticulture is balanced by the freshness and humidity of the sea, leading to ideal maturation. The grapes ripen, thus, in a slow and balanced way, with cool and wet winters, mild summers and the constant presence of the sea winds, creating wines where elegance overrides robustness.</p>
<p></p><p>On the hot plains of the Baixo Alentejo, just a few kilometres from the city of Beja, is one of the oldest wine estates in the region. Its vineyards represent decades of history that Henrique Uva has preserved and farmed for many years and which he always wanted to develop as an independent producer.<br />In 2004, he achieved his dream, with the project that goes by the name of Henrique Uva/Herdade da Mingorra. The Winery is surrounded by 1,400 hectares of a landscape that can be considered exuberant, such is the diversity of plants and fauna, with several river basins forming veritable oases. The Winery is a true place of worship. A place where modernity and functionality can be found alongside indelible traditional techniques.</p>
<p></p><p>Herdade Papa Leite Heavens Door White Wine presents mineral aroma, very subtle full of honey and ripe pear. Balanced flavor in the mouth, it has a density that lasts throughout the tasting with the same notes found in the nose </p>
