When Fernando Guedes planted Azevedo, and made the first wine in 1990, he pioneered
the production of quality Vinho Verde. He immediately set out to transform the estate by
planting 35 hectares of vineyards in this cool, wet part of north-western Portugal, bordered to
the north by the Minho River adjacent to Spain, to the west by the Atlantic and to the south
by the city of Porto.
