Pinto Raposo

The brand

A project born from two passions:

Wine and the ambition to take the best of Portugal further.​

Founded by two friends from different professional backgrounds but united by a shared vision, the brand embodies meticulous attention to detail, from grape selection to vineyard monitoring.

Our philosophy is built on 3 Core Principles:

Small is beautiful

We believe that true excellence is achieved at a human scale.

Working closely with growers, vineyards and families allows us to dedicate the level of attention, precision and care that only small, focused production can offer.

Our size is intentional: it gives us the freedom to prioritise quality over volume, to make thoughtful choices at every stage, and to maintain full proximity to the land and to the people who steward it.

This hands-on approach is not just part of our identity, it is what ensures that every bottle reflects craftsmanship, authenticity and uncompromising standards.

Tradition with Technical Precision

Our winemaking philosophy unites the wisdom of tradition with the discipline of modern oenology.

We follow the vineyard cycle side by side with local growers, monitoring each phase, from pruning to harvest to ensure viticultural practices that respect the vine and maximise fruit expression.

In the winery, we combine this heritage with advanced, scientifically grounded techniques: precise grape selection, temperature-controlled fermentations, gentle extraction and detailed sensory evaluation throughout ageing.

This balance between artisanal intuition and technical accuracy allows us to produce wines that are both expressive and consistent, authentically rooted yet internationally competitive.

Authenticity and Identity

Authenticity is the foundation of our work.

We honour native portuguese grape varieties, the terroirs that define them, and the deep regional relationships that give each wine its character.

We are committed to expressing the truth of each place, the altitude, the soil, the climate and the cultural heritage that shape our vineyards.

By preserving these identities and translating them into wines of clarity and elegance, we position Pinto & Raposo as a modern ambassador of Portugal’s unique wine landscape.

Our wines are not crafted to follow trends, but to celebrate origins refined, distinctive and faithful to the land.

Our Mission

To craft distinctive Portuguese wines of exceptional character, shaped by precision, heritage and uncompromising quality.

Our mission is to translate the authenticity of each terroir into refined, contemporary wines that resonate with discerning consumers and professional partners around the world.

Through close collaboration with growers, meticulous viticulture and thoughtful winemaking, we create wines that honour their origin while meeting the highest international standards of consistency, elegance and craftsmanship.

Our Vision

To be recognised globally as a premium ambassador of Portugal’s wine culture, a brand defined by authenticity, technical excellence and a deep commitment to the land.

We aim to build enduring relationships with importers, distributors, sommeliers and collectors who seek wines with a strong sense of place and a clear narrative of quality.

Our vision is to position Pinto & Raposo among the most respected Portuguese producers in the international market, offering wines that stand out for their identity, sophistication and timeless appeal.

Our Purpose

To celebrate the soul of Portugal through wines that elevate its landscapes, honour its traditions and inspire meaningful connections around the world.

Our purpose is to preserve the character of each region and translate it into wines that speak with clarity, depth and authenticity, wines that reflect the land, the people and the stories that shape them.

Guided by craftsmanship, integrity and a deep respect for nature, we exist to ensure that every bottle carries a sense of place and a promise of excellence.

We seek not only to produce exceptional wines, but to contribute to a more conscious and sustainable culture in the world of modern winemaking.

Sustainability & ESG statement

At Pinto & Raposo, sustainability is not a trend but a foundational principle.

We work with deep respect for the landscapes that shape our wines, ensuring responsible viticulture, fair partnerships with growers and transparent practices across our entire value chain.

Our ESG approach is grounded in three commitments:
   • Environmental stewardship, preserving soils, water and biodiversity in every region where we source our grapes.
   • Social responsibility, fostering long-term relationships with local communities and supporting a culture of respect, knowledge and shared value.
   • Governance and integrity, ensuring traceability, accountability and ethical decision-making in all aspects of production and trade.

We believe that truly great wines are those capable of honouring their origin not only through flavour, but through the values that sustain them.
