Trained in France, the "exceptional winemaker" António Madeira stands among the trendsetters in the Dão region with his petite 5-hectare vineyard. For him, winemaking commences in the vineyard. Over 25 indigenous grape varieties thrive in the Serra da Estrela, reaching heights of up to 800 meters. The vineyards, aged between 80 and over 100 years, embrace traditional mixed planting. Guided by a profound understanding of wine and a deep respect for nature, Madeira crafts refined, mineral-driven wines reminiscent of Burgundy. His winery employs natural methods, reflecting a commitment to authenticity. Madeira epitomizes the remarkable diversity of top-tier Portuguese wines.
