Lua Cheia em Vinhas Velhas is the result of the individuality and character that the creators of this project - João Silva e Sousa, Francisco Baptista and Manuel Dias – have associated with the Douro region for more than two decades.
In Douro, Lua Cheia em Vinhas Velhas produces the brands "Lua Cheia", "Andreza" and "Colleja"; in the Vinho Verde region the brands "Salsus" and "Maria Papoila"; and in the sub-region of Monção/Melgaço brands "Toucas" and "Nostalgia" - 100% Alvarinho.
