In 1994, three of the Meireles family's sons, Frederico, Afonso, and Manuel—an oenologist, an agricultural technician, and a military man, respectively—decided to revitalize the family's small farm located in the Douro region, in Beira Grande-Carrazeda de Ansiães. They believed that with their own resources, they had the conditions to carry out a motivating project in the wine industry. And that's exactly what happened.
That same year they restructured the small family winery, using the traditional wine presses to vinify the reds and equipping the cellar with modern technology for the production of whites. The results were quick; in the first harvest, 1995, at the 1st Casa do Douro Competition, they won first place in whites and second place in reds. Since then, their wines, notably the Grambeira Branco, have earned a place of reference in the region.
