<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 related</p>

A promise based on excellent terroirs, where persist old vineyards of traditional varieties, as Castelão and Moscatel. Vinified by ancestral methods, the wines from Quinta do Piloto are elegant, complex and charismatic; its character is a result from our best vines and small quantities of grapes chosen by excellence.</span></p>

<p></p><p>Niepoort Moscatel 20 Years Old is one of the few Douro Moscatels available on the market in this category. The masterful handling of the different wines that make up the blend as well as the long ageing period makes this a serious and complex world-class wine.</p> <p>Its extraordinarily complex nose marries aromas of apricots, lemons, almonds and other nuts with marzipan and curry spices. The palate is endlessly long: an almost piquant texture, beautiful structure and pleasant acidity provide an element of elegance for which the Niepoort house is so well-known.</p>

<p></p><p>Casa Ermelinda freitas is a wine brand recognized by the world for its magnificent wines. From its very beginnings, made the quality of its vineyards and wines a top priority. When the company first started, wines were produced and sold wholesale and unbranded. It was the current management that decided to take on the challenge that is involved in creating an own brand wine. 1997 was the year of the company's new beginning in wine making, with red wine "Terras do Po tinto", being the first to be produced and bottled on the premises of the Ermelinda Freitas winery</p> <p></p>

<p></p><p>Horácio Simões Moscatel Licoroso Castelão Heritage is the result of intense work split between the vineyard and the winery. The vineyard was monitored and pampered throughout so that yields did not exceed 1500 litres/ha and the grapes arrived at the winery in the ideal state of health and ripeness. At the winery, a ‘special’ vinification process was devised for this product, different from what was usual in other companies in the region.</p> <p>As an accompaniment to a good dessert served at a temperature of 14ºC. </p>
