Indício, a dynamic force in the Douro wine scene, was founded by Marco Lourenço and Alexandre Botelho. Their shared passion for the region's unique terroir and their desire to craft authentic wines that truly reflected the soul of the Douro Valley led them to establish Indício.
Indício is deeply committed to sustainable viticulture. Their vineyards, nestled on steep, terraced slopes, are farmed organically, respecting the delicate ecosystem of the Douro. The winemakers believe in minimal intervention, both in the vineyard and cellar, allowing the grapes to express their full potential. This approach not only respects the environment but also results in wines that are true to the terroir.
Indício utilizes indigenous grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca, and Tinta Roriz for its reds, and Gouveio and Rabigato for its whites. The winemaking philosophy centers on gentle handling, indigenous yeasts, and minimal technological intervention. This approach results in wines that are complex, expressive, and a true reflection of the unique terroir of the Douro Valley.
With their innovative spirit and unwavering dedication to quality, Marco Lourenço and Alexandre Botelho have positioned Indício as a leading force in the new generation of Douro winemakers. Their wines offer a compelling exploration of the region's potential and have garnered international acclaim for their authenticity and exceptional quality.
Beyond their commitment to sustainability and quality, Indício also embraces a sense of adventure and experimentation. They are constantly exploring new techniques and pushing the boundaries of traditional winemaking. This innovative spirit has led to the creation of unique and exciting wines that reflect the diversity of the Douro Valley.
