The Vidigueira, Cuba and Alvito Winemaking Cooperative was founded in 1960, but its chronology goes far beyond its 60 years of existence. It was created to protect the vineyards, the wine and the millennial lifestyle of this wine sub-region and to bring even more renown and quality to the wine produced here.Over the years, an intense effort has been made to protect the grape varieties and the production techniques, so that, in the Winery's wine heritage, indigenous grape varieties have been discovered, perfected from generation to generation, among which Antão Vaz stands out. This grape variety, recognised as the grape variety of Vidigueira and the Winery's inspirational muse, gives rise to an exceptional white wine whose fame has earned it the title « Alentejo's White Wine».With an approximate production of 4.7 million bottles of wine per year and 8 million kilos of grapes per harvest, resulting from the exploration of around 1,500 hectares of vineyard by its around 300 partners, today it is a modern and prominent winery. Never forgetting its origins, it projects itself into the future supported by the people and the quality of the terroir of the wine sub-region.
