Quinta da Pedra is one of the most historical properties in the Alto Minho region, datingback to the 17th century. It is situated in the heart of Monção and Melgaço, a sub region ofthe Vinho Verde appellation, where Alvarinho excels. The property has 53ha, completely dryfarmed, benefiting from pure granite soils, with gentle slopes for drainage and perfectexposure. Two wines are produced here: Milagres by Quinta da Pedra, which is our “perfect”Alvarinho and Graça da Pedra, which shows a more young version of this variety. Also, backvintages of Milagres can be released from time to time as a “Purple Edition”.
The wine is perfect to drink now, but will age beautifully for a further 10 years from the date of the harvest.
