Quinta de Santiago Assinatura de Família — Vinho Verde, Minho 2025
At the northern tip of Portugal, where the Minho River forms the border with Spain, a 7.5-hectare family farm has been tended by the Santiago family since 1899. For most of that time, their grapes went to cooperatives. That changed in 2009, when Grandma Mariazinha Santiago — then 86 years old, full of passion and determination — challenged her children and grandchildren to build a boutique winery and prove that world-class Alvarinho and native varietals from Monção could shine on their own. Today, her granddaughter Joana Santiago, a self-described "authentic Minho woman," leads the estate with the same conviction. The Assinatura de Família is their family signature wine — a blend of Arinto, Trajadura, and Loureiro that captures everything the Minho does best.
The 2025 vintage is bright, aromatic, and immediately inviting. The nose offers juicy green apple, zesty citrus, and subtle floral lift from the Loureiro — fresh and precise. On the palate it is light-bodied with a gentle spritz, lively acidity, and a clean, lingering finish that makes it nearly impossible to put down. It is the kind of wine that disappears fast at the table — and that is exactly the point.
Joana Santiago, Winemaker — "Four generations of the Santiago family combine tradition, modernity, and enthusiasm to create authentic wines expressing the terroir of the region’s and farm’s native varietals."
