Sustainability
Adega do Monte Branco was founded in 2004 with a simple idea: To create wines that tell our story and reflect our deep connection to the land. Wines with soul, expressing the true potential of Alentejo.
Inspired on the Past to build the future
At Adega Monte Branco we work with traditional grape varieties in a sustainable way to produce wines that are balanced and as authentic as the land they come from. We use portuguese grape varieties that tell the story of our land and at the same time, we explore pioneering varieties in the Alentejo, challenging the traditional ones to produce surprising wines.
We innovate in vineyard management, extracting the maximum potential from each variety and each terroir. The result? Wines with a strong identity and freshness, that show the essence of the place where they grown, that don't follow trends, but define our journey.
More than following trends, we make wines with conviction - faithful to the terroir, our vision and the time each wine needs to reveal itself.

Born and raised in Alentejo, Luís developed a strong bond with the land from a very young age. His passion for the world of wine began at age 8, when his father became a producer at Quinta do Mouro. After earning a degree in Oenology and traveling the world, he decided at the age of 23 to forge his own path — becoming a winemaker himself.
"When one has charismatic parents, the weight of expectation can be greater. One must prove their worth, and only on the day they are known by their own name — not as someone’s son — can they be sure they’ve truly found their individuality"
