Quinta Do Ermizio
Portugal
While Quinta Do Ermizio has been operating for generations in Northern Portugal, it came to global attention for its work with London based wine institution Noble Rot that produced "natty" celebrity Chin Chin Vinho Verde.
Noble Rot founders Dan Keeling and Mark Andrew’s intensive approach to finding a house white wine for their restaurants led them to Antonio Monteiro and his 15 hectare estate of Quinta Do Ermizio.
With a focus on “terroir”, their wines serve to bottle the unique character of the vineyards and their minimal intervention approach highlights the beauty of the energetically fresh grapes grown on the vines. While their Chin Chin is not fully 100% natural, they do follow low intervention methods.
