Quinta da Lixa, a family owned winery, was founded in 1986. Since then, the Meireles family has dedicated itself to producing sparkling Vinho Verde. The vineyards around the town of Vila da Lixa could no longer withstand the increasing demand, because the world of connoisseurs has long since recognized that Vinho Verde is "en vogue" again. So the Quinta da Lixa was bought and has given the company its name ever since. Today, the grapes for this popular, refreshing yet traditional treat ripen on 35 hectares and delight the palates of the world. The Seixoso is the epitome of the rediscovered passion of Vinoh Verde. This can be felt both in the nose and on the palate through a seductive, exotic freshness. In addition to Vinho Verde, Alvarinho is also widespread in northern Portugal. Often used for Vinho Verde, ambitious winegrowers also make it as a varietal and prove that they are on a par with the Albariños from Rias Baixas in north-eastern Spain. This also applies to the Alvarinho Pouco Comun, which has a racy freshness with an impressive intensity of fruit.
