{"title":"Quinta da Palmirinha","description":"\u003cp\u003eFernando Paiva spent his career teaching history, but when he returned to his family estate in the Sousa Valley in 2004, he brought the same methodical curiosity he had applied to the past to the business of making wine. The result is a tiny estate that has become one of the reference points for what Vinho Verde can be when taken seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe estate takes its name from Fernando's grandmother, Palmirinha, who purchased the property in 1909. It passed through the family for generations before Fernando, on retiring from teaching, decided to dedicate himself to it fully. He received organic certification in 2004 and Demeter biodynamic certification in 2007, making Quinta da Palmirinha one of the earliest Demeter-certified estates in Portugal. By 2007 he had eliminated sulfites entirely from his winemaking, replacing them with his own developed technique using ground dried chestnut flowers as an antioxidant. Other producers in Portugal and across Europe have since adopted the practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/quinta-da-palmirinha\"\u003eQuinta da Palmirinha producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"loureiro-vinho-branco-quinta-da-palmirinha","title":"Quinta da Palmirinha Loureiro Vinho Branco 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eQuinta da Palmirinha Loureiro Vinho Branco is made from 100% biodynamic Loureiro grapes harvested by hand in the Vinho Verde region of Portugal.
