Souvall in the Spotlight at the Escolha do Mercado 2026 Competition
The excellence and unique identity of Beira Interior’s altitude wines have once again gained national recognition. In the prestigious Escolha do Mercado 2026 Competition, the Souvall brand was distinguished by the tasting panel, reinforcing the Ferraz family’s positioning and commitment to producing wines of premium profile and distinct character.
Produced in Vale Flor, in the municipality of Mêda, at altitudes ranging between 500 and 750 meters, Souvall wines faithfully reflect the granitic matrix of the soil, the austerity of the continental climate, and the richness of the region’s indigenous grape varieties. This distinction in the Escolha do Mercado Competition—a highly demanding event focused on valuation and commercial appeal among professionals and consumers—highlights the technical consistency of the winemaking led by José Ribeiro Brandão and the strategic vision of the LAFerraz project.
The Identity of Mountain Viticulture
More than an achievement, this recognition validates a philosophy rooted in the concept of “Wine, Love and Family”. The unique ecosystem of the Ferraz family vineyards, farmed under dryland conditions and currently in transition to organic production methods, yields wines endowed with vibrant freshness, crisp acidity, and extraordinary gastronomic complexity.
Whether in the aromatic precision of our altitude whites, the structured delicacy of our mountain reds, or the singular elegance of our rosés, this accolade reflects absolute respect for the heritage of the territory and an unyielding pursuit of excellence.
A Commitment to the Future of Beira Interior
For LAFerraz, every award granted to the Souvall brand transcends individual success. It is an unequivocal affirmation of the winemaking potential of the municipality of Mêda and the entire Beira Interior Wine Region on both national and international stages.
We invite you to celebrate this victory with us and discover the essence of our terroir through a visit to Quinta do Souvall, where family tradition and wine tourism experiences meet in perfect harmony.
