Portuguese powerhouse who fell hook, line and sinker for winemaking aged 5

  • At the tender age of just 5, Fernando’s grandfather took him into the small cellar under his house and together they made his very first wine. From that day on, he was hooked. He says it’s all down to his grandfather's passion for nature and vineyards that he decided to follow in his footsteps!

  • It’s been 21 years since he became a winemaker (well, 37 if you count back to that very first one!), and Fernando is never happier than when he is out in the field taking care of his grapes. He’s never been one for an office job… preferring to leave ‘paperwork’ and ‘numbers’ to others, and we don’t blame him!  

  • Mention Arinto or Alvarinho and watch his face light up. They are his favourite varieties thanks to their ability to make both light, crisp wines but also ones with structure and great aging ability. To him, they are the whole package!
