Las Vedras is a wine label born from the passion and vision of Sónia Raposo and Pedro Marques. Rooted in the rolling green hills of Torres Vedras, Lisbon, their vineyards benefit from Atlantic winds and a mix of clay-limestone soils. With a combined age of 30 to 80 years, these old vines, spread across several distinct plots, are the heart of their estate. The couple embraces a hands-on approach, employing artisanal and natural winemaking techniques. Low sulfur additions, extended aging in used wood, and careful bottling allow them to craft precise, mature, yet delicate wines that authentically reflect their terroir.
Pedro Marques, already established as a winemaker at Vale de Capucha, brought his expertise to this joint venture. The couple’s dream materialized in 2019 as they acquired and rented multiple plots around Torres Vedras. A particularly poignant chapter of their story involves grapes from a small vineyard planted by the late António Carvalho. Renowned for his fascination with French varieties, Carvalho’s plot is a unique mosaic of Roussanne, Marsanne, Petit Manseng, Viognier, and Indigenous Portuguese grapes. The resulting Limo Las Vedras is a testament to Carvalho’s legacy, showcasing a vibrant and complex profile. While the exact composition of this blend remains elusive, the wine's elegance and depth are undeniable.
