Alentejo family wine producer tracing its history to 1880 and run by the fourth and fifth generations of the Leal da Costa family, with 120 hectares of vines in Vidigueira and Reguengos de Monsaraz. It is known for Invisível, a white wine made from the red Aragonez grape, and for Vinho da Água, aged underwater in the Alqueva reservoir. In Norway its D’Ervideira rosé is on Vinmonopolet’s order list through Northern Wines AS.
Ervideira’s Nordic foothold is a Norwegian monopoly listing. Vinmonopolet carries D’Ervideira Colheita Seleccionada Rosé 2018 (article 12013901, 75 cl, NOK 343.80) in its order range (bestillingsutvalget), with Northern Wines AS as wholesaler and NBS Logistics as distributor; the wine is an equal blend of Alfrocheiro, Aragonez, Tinta Caiada and Touriga Nacional at 13 percent alcohol. NorthSouth HQ found no current Ervideira listing at Systembolaget or in its 2025 article ledger.
Behind the listing is one of the Alentejo’s more experimental family houses. The company (Ervideira Sociedade Agrícola, Lda, NIF 502715421) makes wine only from its own 120 hectares, split between Monte da Ribeira in Vidigueira and Vendinha in Reguengos de Monsaraz, and bottles about 30 wines across five families. Duarte Leal da Costa, great-grandson of the Count of Ervideira, runs it with his sons Duarte and Bernardo; the house launched Invisível, a white wine from the red Aragonez grape, in 2009, and Vinho da Água, aged for eight months at 30 metres in the Alqueva reservoir, in 2015. It sells from its own shops in Monsaraz, Évora and Lisbon.
Order-range listings at Vinmonopolet are the entry point for Portuguese estates that lack the volume for the monopoly’s fixed range: a Norwegian importer carries the risk, and the wine is available to order in every store. For a family producer with distinctive story-led products like Invisível and Vinho da Água, the Norwegian listing is the kind of low-volume, high-price channel that suits the Nordic monopoly model.
