RPM Wines is a collaborative venture born from a shared passion for reviving the winemaking traditions of an old farm located in the lower Tâmega region, ten kilometers from the Douro River, in the transition zone between the Vinho Verde and Douro wine regions, also known as Minho. Ricardo Moreira, José Roseira, and Daniel Pires joined forces to harness the unique terroir of Quinta da Livração, a family-owned estate from 1935.
Located in a privileged south-facing position, protected from harsh winds and enriched by the mineral-laden soils of the Verín-Chaves-Vidago thermal vein, the farm offers an exceptional environment for grape cultivation. Four of the eleven hectares are dedicated to vineyards, while a diverse ecosystem, including a three-hectare forest and organic crops, covers the remaining land.
José Roseira, inheriting old vines from his grandfather, initiated the journey towards natural winemaking in the early 2000s. Through Daniel Pires ' cultural space, his encounter with Ricardo Moreira and Penhó wines solidified their shared vision of crafting authentic wines that reflect the farm's unique terroir.
With a focus on minimal intervention and a commitment to showcasing the true essence of the grapes, RPM Wines aims to produce wines that are both captivating and representative of their origins. By revitalizing the vineyards and embracing sustainable practices, they seek to create a lasting legacy for the farm and its exceptional terroir.
