Hugo Mendes originally trained as a biomedical engineer, but in 2004 he worked his first wine harvest and decided to entirely change his career. He became a winemaker, and for 11 years worked in cellars and consulted all over Portugal. In 2016 however, tired of making wines to other people’s specifications, he decided to strike out on his own.
With this project, Hugo Mendes intends to study and express the full potential of the Portuguese native castes. The producer and winemaker seeks genuine wines with a soul, which unequivocally express the origin and interpretation on the face.
Intense red colour. Aroma of wild fruits and black pepper, fine spices. Long and persistent finish.
