Milagres by Quinta da Pedra
About Quinta da Pedra: Quinta da Pedra is one of the historic properties of the Alto Minho region, dating back to the 17th century. It is located in the heart of Monção and Melgaço, a sub-region of the Vinho Verde DOC, where Alvarinho excels. The property spans 53 hectares, cultivated in dry farming, benefiting from pure granite soils, gentle slopes for drainage, and perfect exposure. Two wines are produced here: Milagres by Quinta da Pedra, which is our “perfect” Alvarinho, and Graça da Pedra, a young Alvarinho released the year following the harvest. Additionally, older editions of Milagres are released from time to time under the “Purple Edition” label.
