The name “Montureira” means plants that thrive in the midst of pine forests , in the woods, such as hay , bushes or reeds. This type of plants after they reach their adulthood , they were cut by our ancestors who later caught and carried the old “cattle cars” , which in turn were driven into the old houses and were scattered inside the home once there is no concrete floor or other materials that exist today.

These plants were then spread inside and also outside , in front of the houses, because the same had a duration of about fifteen days, depending on the weather or the number of people. Later, the plants were taken already in a state of decomposition and did a lot which used the same for animal bedding.

Within some time these plants have decomposed gave rise to the organic matter that was used in the vineyards and then produce high quality grapes . This process is repeated year after year. The name “Montureira” came through this whole story told by old and based on the life of our ancestors who lived in the West zone. This is our history, which led to our brand and continuity of our ancestors.
