Manzwine - The True Essence

The Manzwine project is built on the historical and winegrowing revival of Cheleiros and the preservation of the nearly extinct Jampal grape, responsible for the exclusive Dona Fátima, the only wine in the world produced entirely from this variety. The unexpected discovery of 200 baskets of Jampal in a small vineyard purchased by André Manz revealed the region’s unique potential and set the foundation for a project that quickly gained recognition.

The visit begins at the Old Wine Press with an introduction to the history of the village and the Manzwine project. It continues to the museum, where the terroir of the Lizandro Valley is explored, along with archaeological pieces dating back to 5000 B.C. and traditional winemaking tools. At the winery, harvesting, and winemaking processes are presented, followed by the old school building, now the barrel room, where aging in wood is explained.

This experience highlights the uniqueness of the Jampal grape through a journey across three different terroirs, showcasing the diversity and expression each region brings to the wine. The program ends with an introduction to sensory analysis and a tasting of six Manzwine wines.

A visit for all your senses.
