Adega do Ataíde is one of the Symington family’s most ambitious projects and affirms our confidence in the future of Douro DOC wines. This exciting winery is the new home for the premium red wines that we make from Quinta do Ataíde and Quinta do Vesúvio, and the top wines from our Altano range.
Inspired by our long-term commitment to sustainability and innovation, the winery was designed by an in-house team of architects, engineers, and winemakers to produce wines of the highest quality and to be highly efficient in energy and water use. The state-of-the-art winery represents one of ten goals set out in
our strategic Mission 2025 roadmap, devised to guide and steer our long-term commitment to sustainability and innovation.
Adega do Ataíde was officially granted Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) GOLD
certification – making it not only the first winery in Portugal to achieve this recognition, but also the first in Europe to surpass 60 LEED points, which is the threshold for being granted the GOLD certification level. There are only three other wineries in the world that have reached this level of LEED certification.
