OUR PHILOSOPHY

The first wine rehearsals from selected grape varieties mounts back to 1957, time in which it was objectively defined that the production of wine would constitute as the main activity of the company. The objective has always been to achieve products of the highest quality and standard.


The quality of our wines is unquestionable, as it has been awarded numerous awards since the XX century, in the most significant national and international wine contests, due to the careful application of managing the most technical agricultural practices and processes.

It is a ‘Vinho Verde’ with character, it is young, fresh, dry and fruited, which encloses a fabulous episode that raised the prestige of the brand. During the official visit of Queen Elizabeth II to Portugal, this wine was chosen to accompany all meals and elected for the table of the Chairmanship of the Republic Council.

The final years of the sixties, by which time the vineyard was in full bloom, were among the most important for this Quinta. Vilacetinho received awards at various international competitions, in particular a gold medal in what was then the republic of Yugoslavia in Ljubljana, the former state of Slovenia.

Also during the sixties, Vilacetinho was often requested for wine-tastings at important events such as one held at Lisbon International Fair (FIL) which can be seen in some of the documentation in the Commission governing the sector. On 13 July 1965 Vilacetinho achieved yet another honour: an official letter from the laboratory of the National Wine Board announced that “to publicise vinho verde in the Portuguese pavilion at the Rio de Janeiro exposition a display case had been designed to exhibit bottled wines”.

The request was made for the urgent delivery “of two bottles of each of the brands that had received gold or silver medals at the III National Competition of Bottled Wines”. Vilacetinho Branco was one of the fourteen brands requested which proves that this wine had received an award at the event. On 24 January 1972 Francisco Girão and Casa de Vilacetinho informed the Viticultural Commission of the Vinho Verde Region of the following: “With reference to your letter of 12 January […] I hereby inform you that I have already delivered to your offices two bottles, fully labelled, of the wine I wish to register with the I World Wine Competition to be held in Budapest”. As such he asks them to consider this preliminary registration. On 29 May the National Wine Board confirmed the arrival of a case from Vilacetinho containing three bottles which would be entered in that competition. In practice, as per a letter sent on 19 May, this meant that Francisco Girão’s registration had been accepted. In order to make it official he had to pay twenty-five dollars to the Bureau des Expositions, Ministère de l’Agriculture et de l’Alimentation, Budapest, Hungary, by making a deposit in an international bank account as per the reference indicated.''

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
   
 
 

 
VINEYARDS

At the moment the vineyards cover an area of ca. 30 ha which develop in a slight declining slope in a continuous and ordered manner in soils of granitic nature and benefits from a privileged predominantly south sun exposure. A Terroir of absolutely unique conditions makes the vineyards one of the most prosperous

locales of the region set to the production of ‘Vinho Verde’. The grape varieties grown are those recommended for the region: Arinto, Avesso, Azal and Loureiro. These grape varieties constitute and characterize the essence of the wines Casa de Vilacetinho.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
   
   
 
 

 
WINERY

All aspects of the Winery are equipped with modern and state-of-the-art facilities where automation is assiduous and highlighted. However, the fact remains that wine is a

 

natural product and the adopted technology doesn’t disrespect and in fact complements the many traditional methods that are still used in the production of our wines.
