The Monte da Ravasqueira winery was initially acquired as a house for the family of D. Manuel de Mello for horse breeding. Today, Monte da Ravasqueira has a total of 45 hectares of vineyards in the Alentejo and grows wine here on a whopping eight different soil types. The vineyards in the hinterland of the capital Lisbon are planted with some classics of Portuguese viticulture. Part of the success of Monte da Ravasqueira wines is the dedication of the talented oenologist Pedro Pereira Gonçalves. Since 2012 he has been unswervingly committed to maximum wine quality. This also includes the establishment of successful wine brands such as Guarda Rios, Coutada Velha and Landau.
