Mendes & Symington

Our family decided to strengthen our long-running relationship with the legendary Vinho Verde producer Anselmo Mendes by forming the Mendes & Symington partnership in 2023. This joint venture between our two families aims to develop premium wines from the prestigious Monção and Melgaço sub-region of the Vinho Verde DOC in northern Portugal.

 

The company acquired the renowned Alvarinho wine, Contacto, (produced by Anselmo Mendes) which has seen remarkable success in Portugal and internationally, and which both families believe has great potential for further development.

 

Mendes & Symington will also soon launch a range premium wines from Casa de Rodas – an historic vineyard estate in Monção and Melgaço acquired by our family in 2022. Our first harvest at the property was in 2023 with Anselmo Mendes as the winemaker.
