Dão - Antonio Madeira

Madeira grew up in Paris but is of Portuguese descent with family roots in the Serra da Estrela, the highest mountain on the Portuguese continent. and is one of today's most exciting producers in the region

In 2011 he produced his first wines after discovering a 50-year-old vineyard in the foothills. He quickly realized he’d stumbled upon gold in the Dão: old vines of native varietals such as Tinta Pinheira, Negro Mouro, Tinta Amarela, and Baga; free-draining granite soils; and excellent sun exposures—all combine to make magical wines. Today, he works with small plots in six different villages and farms organically and manually. All of his wines are co-fermented field blends, using indigenous yeast and very little sulphur. If there’s a throughline in his wines it’d be a touch of salinity and ample freshness, with an earthy quality like the first moments after it rains.

With a keen eye for micro plots and historical preservation, he is one of the most exciting producers in the region today
