Why Sapateiro
From our family in Portugal to your table in America
Many wine subscriptions bring together bottles from many different producers. The Sapateiro Wine Club is one family, one estate and one winemaker.
-
One family, one estate
Every bottle comes from our family’s five-hectare estate in Tabuado, in Portugal’s Vinho Verde region, made from hand-picked native grape varieties.
-
A winemaker who writes to you
Tiago makes the wines, can choose your case for you, and writes to you every month about the harvest, the barrels and what’s coming.
-
Vinho Verde, beyond what you know
In the United States, Vinho Verde is often known as a light, fizzy white. Our range goes further: barrel-aged Reservas, a red Vinhão, a rosé, an orange wine and the WANTED series.
-
Small batches, numbered bottles
Around 25,000 bottles a year across around ten wines, and every bottle individually numbered. Some wines are made in runs of only a few hundred bottles.
-
Your name in Portugal
Founding Barrel Patrons have their name on a barrel plaque in our cellar, and every member joins the Hall of Fame on our members’ wall.
-
A reason to visit
We are about an hour from Porto. When you come, your tasting is 2-for-1, and it is led by the winemaker himself.
