Vinha Paz is a family wine estate on the northern slope of the Dão, six kilometres from Viseu, run by the Canto Moniz family through António Canto Moniz, Lda. Five of its reds are listed in the Vinmonopolet specialty assortment (Spesialutvalg) in Norway, imported by Oslo drinks wholesaler Non Dos AS.
The estate’s own history says the first Vinha Paz wine was made in 2002 and named after the mother of António Canto Moniz, a surgeon in Porto who asked his father to teach him winemaking. The family has made wine in the Dão for more than 150 years, in a granite-lagar winery built by António’s great-great-grandfather at the Carreira Alta house. His grandfather was the first president of the Federação dos Viticultores do Dão. The vineyards cover 15 hectares on the northern slope of the Dão, six kilometres from Viseu, split between Quinta da Leira (the main site), Quinta da Tremoa and the old vines of Quinta da Cruzinha, planted mainly with Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro, Jaen and Tinta Roriz, plus Encruzado and Malvasia Fina for whites. His son Henrique now manages the business. The trading company is António Canto Moniz, Lda (NIF 507118731), registered at Quinta da Leira in Viseu with €55,000 of share capital.
In Norway, the monopoly’s product search lists five Vinha Paz wines, all active and all in the Spesialutvalg tier: Dão Reserva 2020 (art. 17429001, NOK 401.50), Reserva 2021 (art. 19700101, NOK 401.50), Colheita 2021 (art. 17429201, NOK 302.90), Colheita 2022 (art. 19700201, NOK 302.90) and Vinha Othon 2019 (art. 15911701, NOK 386.20). Vinmonopolet names Non Dos AS as wholesaler and Skanlog AS as the logistics provider. Non Dos AS (org. no. 889606932) is an Oslo drinks wholesaler founded in 2006 with five employees, according to the Brønnøysund register. We found no listing in Sweden’s Systembolagets range.
The Spesialutvalg is Vinmonopolet’s small, curated tier for wines bought on reputation, not on tender price. A 15-hectare family estate with five wines across two vintages of the same range in that tier shows how much a dedicated small importer can do for a Dão grower in the Norwegian market.
