O Produtor, tasting note published in November 23rd 2020
Citrus colour. Very fine aroma, with notes of white flowers. Taste in the mouth we confirm the finess of the aroma, with slight notes of white fruit. Very good structure and freshness.
Vinification after settling, fermentation in used barrels without temperature control. Batonnage with fine lees until bottling.
“Made exclusively from Cercial, a difficult grape variety, far from trends, distant from the fruit that pleases everyone but full of character, with a more mineral profile than fruity. Very good acidity and mouth volume give the wine an excellent gastronomic aptitude. Save a few bottles because the future can be very interesting.” (In Wine Guide 2012 by João Paulo Martins)

Campolargo
Our grandfather Martinho, a Mogofores farmer, produced red wine and, being one of the rare winemakers that separated white grapes from red ones, made a beautiful and famous white wine. Both were sold in bulk to business houses in the region that bottled it.
Having died at the end of the sixties of the last century, our father, Manuel, took charge of the entire estate whose vineyards he modernised and enlarged, but no longer producing wine for the market.
In the mid-nineties we started winemaking trials with the various grape varieties that had been planted in the meantime (many of which were for the first time in the region). The decision was then taken to start vinification for the market and to build a new winery. The first Campolargo wines were from the 2000 harvest, and the new winery was only built in 2004.
Currently, the third generation is responsible for the vineyard, Jorge Campolargo and the winery and sales, Carlos Campolargo. But it already has the collaboration of the fourth generation, Joana Campolargo, who ensures the administrative support and external relations.
Therefore, we want to maintain and pursue the exclusively familiar character of our winemaking.
