Quinta do Regueiro – Produtor de Alvarinho de Melgaço, Lda (NIF 508013836) is a family Alvarinho house at Côto, in the parish of Alvaredo, Melgaço, at the northern tip of Portugal’s Vinho Verde region. Its history starts with 3 hectares of Alvarinho planted in 1988; the brand was registered and the first vintage released in 1999, and the company, run by siblings Paulo and Anabela Cerdeira Rodrigues, now farms 12 hectares of terraced vines (6 owned, 6 leased) producing about 170,000 bottles a year. It sells in Sweden, Denmark and Finland, with two Alvarinhos in Vinmonopolet’s order range in Norway and a Systembolaget release that sold 4,901 litres in 2025.
The company’s own history page describes a slow build: vines planted in 1988 for family consumption, a brand registered in 1999 when the owners’ son Paulo Cerdeira Rodrigues, then 23, took the project commercial, and a limited company formed a decade later with his sister Anabela. Today the estate is a mosaic of small terraced plots on granite soils above the Minho, 12 hectares in all, producing around 170,000 bottles, of which the company says Madeira and Lisbon are the strongest domestic markets and the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, the Benelux countries, Switzerland, Brazil and the three Nordic EU markets, Denmark, Finland and Sweden, the export ones. The 2019 vintage year brought the house its two national titles from Grandes Escolhas and Revista de Vinhos.
In the Nordics the footprint is visible in both monopolies. Vinmonopolet’s catalogue carries the Alvarinho Reserva (art. 10856101, NOK 259.90) and the Regueiro Maturado Alvarinho 2023 (art. 19134501, NOK 379.90) in the Norwegian order range, both flagged active. In Sweden, the Foral de Melgaço Alvarinho released through Systembolaget (art. 9430601, SEK 169) sold 4,046 litres in 2024 and 4,901 litres in 2025 according to the monopoly’s article ledgers, a 21 percent increase in a year when Portuguese white wine in Sweden grew 3.5 percent.
Regueiro is the archetype of the Alvarinho producer whose listings have multiplied in the Nordic monopolies’ order ranges over the past two years: small, family-run, single-grape, priced at SEK 169 to NOK 380, and present through the order range rather than the fixed shelf. For Fractio’s readers it shows that a 12-hectare Melgaço estate can hold listings in two Nordic monopolies at once without a subsidiary, provided the importer relationships are in place.
2025 — Systembolaget’s article ledger records 4,901 litres of Foral de Melgaço Alvarinho (art. 9430601), up from 4,046 litres in 2024.
2019 — Named Producer of the Year by Vinho Grandes Escolhas; Quinta do Regueiro Barricas and Jurássico (a 20th-anniversary wine, 1,900 bottles) both named best national white by the two Portuguese wine magazines.
