Founded in 1955, this winery today is an association of more than 1,000 members working under the leadership of the famous Portuguese winemaker Rui Madera. Recognized as “the best wine cooperative in Portugal,” Adega Vila Real, unlike other Portuguese producers, is renowned for its commitment to local traditions in the selection of regional autochthonous varieties. High quality standards and reasonable prices distinguish their products from wines of the same class from central Europe.
