Aphros Wine Lda. (Vasco Croft)

Aphros Wine was founded in 2004 by architect Vasco Croft on a Quinta that had been in the family since the 17th century. The starting point was six hectares of vines; Casa Nova and Valflores were added later, bringing the total area farmed or processed to around 20 hectares. In the vineyard, the estate works biodynamically, with cover crops, animal diversity and biodynamic preparations. The winery, built in 2015, processes grapes from the three vineyards; alongside it, there is a historic cellar for traditional, largely non-electric methods.
