Some of the world's finest wines are those produced by a single family, on a specific estate, by succeeding generations. If this weren't the case, they would soon have ceased existing. The fact that they bear a family name is certainly a relevant factor, demanding the best of each generation, a calling to love and dedication. Nothing is flat at Romeu. Neither landscape nor clima, neither people nor aromas! The Menéres family has been producing Port and DOC Douro wines, hailing from 25 hectares (60 acres) of vineyards on its estate, since 1874, that are (literally) those found further north in the Douro demarcated region. The vineyards, the olive groves, the cork oak forest and two streams coexist at Romeu interlaced on their natural way, forming a living patchwork with many birds, squirrels, livestock or wild boars, that favors both the ecosystem and those fortunate enough to experience the landscape. The average altitude of the vineyards is 320m above the sea level, with multiple sun exposures. Schist shale soils in the transition to the granite. Dry climate, with both daily and yearly wide thermal variations. Viticulture on Quinta do Romeu has been organic since 1995. In fact, the entire estate is currently certified organic, meaning that our agricultural practices are chemical-free. The reason is a belief that this approach brings out the best tastes and aromas to the products and that both people and the environment are left better off. The wines naturally reflect all this. Although with the robust character from Douro, they show the elegance and freshness of this distinctive location. There is a great dedication to grape quality and, in the cellar, everything happens with a minimum of interference. Fermentations of reds are made in granite mills with indigenous yeasts, the quantities of sulphur used reduced and a considerable part of the oak used for ageing is on its 2nd and 3rd year.

We are a small family wine producer located in Sangalhos in the heart of Bairrada. We have about 15 hectars of vines producing traditional varieties of the region such as Bical, Maria Gomes, Cercial and Arinto white grapes and Baga red grapes planted in chalkly clay soil in one of the best areas of Bairrada - Figueira da Costa. Our small traditional winery  located in the center of the village of Sangalhos. has some decades of history. It all started about 100 years ago with my great grandfather. By that time he used to sell the wine in bulk.  The first bottling took place with my grandfather Sidónio de Sousa in 1990. He was encouraged to bottle because in 1980s his wines received some national important awards. Then, in the 1990s, the wines continued to win awards and since then "Sidónio de Sousa" is known for being one of the most faithful depositories of the legacy and history of Bairrada.

Its origins dates back to 1951 with the first generation of the Aleixo Family. Business developed and transition of leadership and ownership from one generation to the next was part of its natural evolution.
