Produced by the recognized winemaker, Carlos Teixeira (Quinta da Lixa), the SOL REAL selections are both fun and gourmand. Quinta de Lixa has evolved from being the passion hobby of the Meireles family, originally producing wine sold to other estates, into a quality driven winery focused on estate-bottling. The winery boasts over 250 acres of prime vineyards spread across multiple sub-regions as well as modern winemaking facilities and produces wines that merge quality, authenticity and value. It is today one of the most influential companies in the region. Quinta da Lixa have been making zesty Vinho Verde since 1986 and have won a lot of recognition for their wines. They try to be as environmentally friendly as they can be, saving rainwater, using solar energy and the use of light-weight recycled packaging.
