Caring for the Land to
Create Wines with Soul<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

At Vadio, we believe that great wines are born from living vineyards. Our approach is based on regenerative viticulture \u2014 a form of agriculture that seeks to give back to the land more than we take from it.\n\n

Our 10 hectares of vineyards, spread over 15 vineyards and 27 plots in Vale D. Pedro, are cared for with meticulous attention, always respecting the natural balance of the ecosystem. We practice organic farming but go beyond: we cultivate the soil as a living organism, foster biodiversity, and always work with the goal of regenerating natural cycles.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Vineyards Management<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

We believe that a balanced and biodiverse vineyard expresses its place more authentically. This philosophy translates into wines with identity, freshness, and authenticity \u2014 wines that reflect the time and place where they are born.\n\n

Each plot is cared for according to its soil characteristics, grape varieties, and other viticultural factors to achieve balanced ripening with a unique identity. We have restructured most of our vineyards with pruning systems tailored to our goal of achieving more balanced and higher-quality yields.\n\n

In Bairrada, the traditional pruning system allows for very high yields. For Baga, we chose a unilateral cordon system with higher canopies, which results in better ventilation, sun exposure, lower yields, and more consistent phenolic ripeness.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Each Plot, a Purpose.
Each Wine, a Story.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

At Vadio, every wine is born from a vineyard \u2014 or from very specific plots that we have closely followed from the beginning with a clear purpose. We believe that it\u2019s the vineyard that dictates the wine: how it\u2019s planted, its orientation, the soil, the slope, the sun exposure \u2014 everything contributes to the profile that will eventually emerge. That\u2019s why each plot is intentionally designed from the outset to give rise to a wine with its own identity.\n\n

We work exclusively in Vale D. Pedro, a continuous area of about 150 hectares of clay-limestone soils near our village. At first glance, it seems like a single vineyard block, but in fact, it\u2019s composed of about 300 small plots \u2014 a true reflection of Bairrada\u2019s historical small-scale farm, where the land has always been shared among many hands and fragmented into tiny portions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Within this valley, the lower areas \u2014 with more fertile soils and higher humidity \u2014 are where our sparkling wines are born. These conditions help preserve the acidity and freshness essential for the vibrant and elegant profile we seek in them. For white grapes like Cercial, we chose sandy soils, which are the origin of our Vadio White.\nFrom this territory, we develop three categories of Baga red wines:<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Vadio represents the broadest expression of Vale D. Pedro, crafted from several plots that capture the diversity of the place.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Grande Vadio<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Grande Vadio comes from three hillside plots with southern exposure, offering greater depth, structure, and complexity<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Single Vineyard<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Finally, our single-vineyard wines deliver an even more precise expression of origin \u2014 like Rexarte, which clearly showcases the singular character of the vineyard it comes from.\nThis is how we work: focused on the vineyard, attentive to the detail of each plot, and committed to revealing the full potential of Baga and Bairrada.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
