America Wines Paper’s interview with Nuno Matos.
Question 1: Do you already export to America? If yes, where? If no, what type of importers & distributors are you looking for in America?
Yes, but only entry-level wines. We are looking to find a company to represent and sell our high-quality wines.
Question 2: What is the most unique and qualitative part of your products, different from competitors?
Our winery is considered to have unique soil and many sunshine, that´s why our Grande Reserva have 16,5% alcohol. We have focused since the beginning, in planting grapes to give quality wines, and that´s why we have been achieving many awards from different countries. Also, our history in producing wines for many years, gives us the advantage to do great wines. The passion and dedication in our daily work in the winery, trying to do in the most perfect way, is also a key to our success.
Question 3: When did you start to export your brand worldwide, and what is your development plan for the next years?
We started to export in 1982, in the beginning to France to the Portuguese people that have emigrated in the past. Our development for the next years is to finish our project of the Enotourism, which have started a few years, where we have a big saloon for wine tastings and lunch or dinner, but we want to extend the rooms we have, due to demand we have been receiving. About the wines, keep working to develop our brand in the different markets and share our wines with more and more consumers.
