2022 Lua Cheia red

The Lua Cheia em Vinhas Velhas project results from the passionate connection that its 3 founders, João Silva e Sousa, Francisco Baptista and Manuel Dias, have maintained with the Douro for over two decades. After so many years of being surprised by this unique wine-growing region, in 2009 the time came to show how they saw the wines of the Douro. The company's story begins that year, with white wines from Murça, an area forgotten by progress, but which produces unique wines full of identity. In 2010, an investment began in the winery in Martim, Douro, and, in 2012, in the birthplace of Alvarinho, Monção. In 2013, a partnership was also started in the Alentejo, vinifying at third-party facilities grapes chosen and purchased in the Estremoz region.

As the project grew, it joined forces with Saven, S.A., which was already a partner in this business and operates in the food and beverage sector, giving rise to Lua Cheia - Saven, in order to better respond to increased demand and facilitate entry into other markets. With this union, the group now has other associated brands, partners of the Wines & Winemakers By Saven group, representing various Portuguese regions.
