Aveleda Loureiro Vinho Verde

Aveleda is a historic Portuguese winery founded in 1870 in the Vinho Verde region. The brand is renowned for its fresh and aromatic white wines, particularly those made from the Loureiro grape variety as seen in this 2024 vintage bottle. The production specifically takes place in the Douro and Minho regions of northern Portugal, maintaining a strong focus on traditional viticulture paired with modern sustainable practices.

Ownership has remained remarkably consistent since its inception. Aveleda is a family-owned business, currently managed by the 5th generation of the Guedes family. The company, Aveleda S.A., is one of Portugal's largest wine producers and exporters, maintaining its independence and headquartering its operations in Penafiel, Portugal. This continuity of family ownership has allowed the brand to maintain its reputation for quality and regional authenticity over more than 150 years.
