DOURO’S
NEW LEGACY
This is Menin Douro Estates
Menin Douro Estates
was born from a dream: to produce
great wines from the Douro
and place them around the world.
MENIN, a
tribute
to the Douro
MENIN Douro Estates is an ambitious wine development project with the aim of creating, in the medium term, a portfolio of excellent DOC Douro wines.
Red and white wines, but also ports, in a total production that is expected to reach 400,000 bottles in 2025.
We start from the enormous potential of the Douro, the exceptional quality of its terroir and its inspiring landscapes to produce magnificent wines that honor and promote the historical richness of this region. The largest contiguous area of old vineyards in the Douro is an extra gem, which drives and distinguishes us to fulfil this dream.
The forerunners
The passion for Portugal and the Douro on the part of Brazilian entrepreneurs Rubens Menin and Cristiano Gomes goes back a long way. First as an almost second homeland, now as the ideal destination for a unique project that aims to strengthen the historical legacy of the Douro.
Rubens Menin, one of the greatest Brazilian businessmen, with a vast portfolio of businesses, ranging from banking to the largest construction company in Latin America, and Cristiano Gomes, a partner and businessman with a career in the financial area, joined efforts to fulfill their passion.

THE FOCUS ON THE PROMOTION
AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE DOURO
While the great wine regions of France, Italy and Spain show maturity with little potential for growth, the Douro still has a long way to go to equal them in recognition and prices. The bifurcation from Port wine to fine table wines is still very recent. However, there’s some exceptional wines and an unrivaled diversity of grape varieties and styles. That is why the development and promotion of the region are two pillars of Menin Douro Estates.
