Manz Wine
André Manz bought an abandoned vineyard in Cheleiros to make wine for himself and his friends. A commercial project was far from his mind at the time.
On the first visit to the vineyard with a winemaker, 200 strains of a variety that no one was able to identify were discovered & with the help the Institute of Vine and Wine, it's name was identified: JAMPAL!
This native Portuguese grape variety, was abandoned, due to not being profitable... very sensitive to climate, requiring more pruning whilst producing low yields.
Today, you can enjoy André's endeavours with a glass of Dona Fátima.
