Romeira launches Merlot wine
28/12/2025The historic Romeira brand, with over a century of tradition, presents the Romeira Merlot, a wine that reflects the elegance, authenticity, and character of the Lisbon terroir, combined with the sophistication of one of the world's most appreciated grape varieties.Produced at Quinta do Boição, the Romeira Merlot is born from a manual selection of clusters at their ideal point of ripeness and from whole-berry fermentation, allowing for a slow maceration that releases layers of flavor and freshness. The wine stands out for its firm structure, notes of ripe red fruits and spices, and an elegant touch of oak, presenting excellent aging potential.
The Romeira brand dates back to 1912, with official registration in 1945 by the winemaker Manuel Vieira, and is part of the Caves Velhas universe, consolidating 112 years of tradition and excellence. The company’s history began in 1881 with the founding of Alves & Freire and evolved until the creation of the Companhia Portuguesa de Vinhos de Marca in 1970. Over the decades, Romeira has become a symbol of rigor, quality, and innovation in the Portuguese wine landscape.
The launch of the Romeira Merlot represents the combination of tradition and modernity, reinterpreting the heritage of Bucelas with an international grape variety that has found ideal conditions on the slopes of the Lisbon region to express its full potential.
