Winemaker António Dinis

Background Rosa and António (1974) continued their vineyard on Rosa's family's land after António had been a winemaker for other vineyards and a laboratory technician at the Institute for Vinho Verde (CVRVV) for years. On their 6-hectare vineyard, they make classic wines as they are found in the Douro. In addition to being a winemaker for himself, António is a freelancer for other vineyards, and Rosa manages the B&B. The name Teoria? That's a romantic story: Rosa and António met while graduating. Teoria translates to achieving a diploma.

Vineyards On the small vineyard, whose south-facing hills (in the direction of Pinhão) host over 32 grape varieties. António makes his wines in the rolling landscape of the Douro Valley. Some of the grapevines are old, planted at the birth of Rosa's father in 1943. They do not work organically, but they do work without pesticides.
