About Winery and Wines
Textura Wines is a family project that began in 2018 in the Dão region, on the slopes of Serra da Estrela, focusing on organic viticulture, terroir-driven wine production, and wine tourism. The project initially involved sourcing existing vineyards in a region known for its small growers. Today, it encompasses 28 hectares of vineyards spread across eight different plots in Vila Nova de Tazem and Penalva do Castelo. The winery practices low-intervention winemaking, allowing the unique soil and location of each vineyard to shine through in wines that are both elegant and distinctive.
The Textura vineyards, which range from 18 to 50 years old, have been certified for organic viticulture since 2023. These vineyards are located in two sub-regions: Serra da Estrela (Vila Nova de Tazem) and Castendo (Penalva do Castelo). The diverse soils, altitudes, exposures, and microclimates contribute to the distinctiveness of the wines. Granite soils predominate, with vineyards situated at altitudes of up to 620 meters.
Textura Wines is deeply committed to respecting the local environment and biodiversity, preserving natural and cultural resources, and supporting local development. These principles are at the heart of the winery's mission, guiding every aspect of its operations.
All of the wines from Textura Wines embody a harmonious blend of traditional Dão grape varieties, uniquely expressing the diverse terroirs of the region. Under the guidance of winemaker Luís Seabra, a low-intervention approach is employed, allowing the soil and distinct characteristics of each vineyard to shine through. This careful approach results in wines that are full of character, elegance, and distinction.
