Presenting André Marques - the Douro from the inside

Jun 5th 25

Born and raised among vineyards and valleys, André brings with him the soul of the region - discreet, firm, and deeply authentic. One of our cellar hand since 2023 (although he has been collaborating with us for longer), he lives each stage of the process with total dedication: from the hustle and bustle of bottling to the detail of the orders, there is always a quiet and sure dedication to what he does.

But the man doesn't live by wine alone. Outside the winery, André cultivates other interests: he's learning to play the concertina, loves technology, computer games, and socialising with friends. In the Summer, there's a special place on the River Távora where he dives and relaxes - a nook just for them, between picnics and laughter.

Just as with wine, this is where he reveals what drives him: his connection to the land, to his people, and to what really matters.
