Provezaide
Provezaide is a story told slowly, at the pace of the Provezende vineyards, on the magical slopes of Cima-Corgo. Cândido Tojal combined three decades of planting and caring for vines with the winemaking experience of Pedro Sequeira. The duo started from a simple idea: "to capture the essence of nature and take it to the highest level," with lagares (traditional wine presses), vats, and barrels—and above all, people who care about the vines and the wine.
The terroir is remarkable: approximately 25 hectares with south and east exposure, between 280 and 526 meters of altitude. From these plots come red wines made from Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz—sometimes vibrant and with CFV (color, freshness, and vivacity), sometimes deep and elegant like the Cuvée—and high-altitude white wines with Rabigato, Gouveio, and Viosinho, fermented in stainless steel and barrels, with crisp acidity and enormous potential for evolution.
At the winery, respect for the fruit and the place translates into moderate macerations, controlled temperatures, 500L barrels, and appropriately long aging periods, prioritizing texture and balance over extraction. The result: precise, gastronomic wines that tell the story of the Rio Grande do Sul landscape in the glass.
