Arribas Wine Company was founded in 2017, in Bemposta, Mogadouro. We aim to produce authentic wines, based in regional varieties, old vineyards and traditional techniques, as well as a degree of innovation. Thus, we strive to farm our vineyards as sustainably and respectfully as possible, and to make our wines in a minimalistic way.
GREAT WINES START IN THE VINEYARDS The quest for diversity and a spot with unique characteristics took us to Bemposta, a small village from Mogadouro, where the grandparents of one of the founders were born. There we found very old vineyards, some of them recently abandoned due to the owners old age, with amazing potencial over a breathtaking landscape. Our first brand – Saroto – came up after seeing all this potential not being fully explored. If Saroto is the local term to designate an animal with its tail cut off, the lizard pretends to simbolize the capacity of regeneration thus representing the will to recover and preserve such a rich and diverse heritage that otherwise would be lost.
