Vin Vidigal Wines

Vidigal Wines is a family-run, medium size wine company that produces Still and Dessert Wines. It is located in the center of Portugal, near Leiria. Vidigal was established at the beginning of the 20th Century in a winery founded by a Church Canon. Throughout the last Century, the company has had several owners. Acquired in the 90s by the current managing director, António Mendes Lopes, Vidigal went through excellent management and technological advances, allowing us to produce over 3 million bottles of wine annually. Vidigal is owned by the Danish/Portuguese Managing Director António Mendes Lopes (60%) and a Norwegian Investment Company (40%). Antonio Lopes has over 30 years of experience in the wine world. He founded a Wine Import company in Denmark, importing wines from many regions of the world to Denmark, giving him knowledge and expertise at a global level. With an export rate of 90%, Vidigal is one of Portugal's top wine companies. Vidigal sells in over 30 countries, commercializing 40 different types of wines. For 5 consecutive years, it was the biggest wine-selling company in Norway. Regarding production, Vidigal has partnerships in Lisbon, representing 450 ha of vineyards and other Portuguese wine regions: Tagus, Douro, Alentejo, Dao, Beiras, and Vinho Verde. The majority of wines Vidigal produces, particularly those from Lisbon, originate from vineyards close to the Atlantic Ocean. As such, the sea breeze influences the wines they produce, presenting us with a range of fresh and fruity wines. The main grape varieties used by Vidigal are Touriga Nacional, Aragonez (Tinta Roriz), Castelao, Syrah, and Cabernet.
