António Vilela Areias | Vinho Verde | Cave Tirsense

A family story transformed into a contemporary wine project.

The producer

A legacy dating back to 1864.

António Vilela Areias revives the memory of Quinta do Couço with a modern language and a clear ambition for the wines of the Alto Ave.

Atlantic influence, granite soils and close vineyard work create precise wines defined by freshness and a strong sense of origin.

“A contemporary brand can have deep roots, provided it tells them truthfully.”

The work

A project shaped by place, people and close attention.

Behind every bottle is a sequence of decisions made in the vineyard and the cellar. The scale remains close enough for each vintage and each lot to be followed directly, preserving the identity of the house.
