Oenological Consulting

Wine ID's core business is winemaking consultancy. Wine ID supports different producers in the Douro, Lisbon, Alentejo, and Algarve regions. Through wine consulting, Wine ID develops ideas and solutions according to the unique characteristics of the terroir and the producer. There is no such thing as a bad terroir, only a lack of understanding of it, and this is the focus of the Wine ID team, a winemaking consultancy without barriers and with a futuristic vision, but always maintaining the historical richness of each place.

The winemakers work hand in hand with wine producers, aligning their visions and ambitions in the creation and growth of each project.

The Wine ID winemaking consultancy goes through all the stages of the wine creation process, starting with viticulture, winemaking, harvest and production process management, and ending with brand building and business development in the current market.

 

What is Winemaking Consultancy?

In winemaking consultancy, Wine ID supports the producer "from grape to bottle". The decisions crucial to the construction and development of the winemaking consultancy projects are highly supported by a team of winemakers with a wide knowledge based on their own wine production experience in Portugal’s three wine regions.

These decisions cover topics such as: choice of grape varieties, Planning and Projecting the winery, oenological viticulture, oenological principles and, brand creation and implementation strategy.

 

Grape Selection

The grape varieties selection depends on the terroir, the history, and the planting area. The grape varieties selection is a decision made with consideration to the future.

We are planting today to harvest tomorrow

 

Planning and Projecting Wineries

Wine ID carries out the entire process of planning and projecting wineries, taking into account the landscape, the historical heritage of the site, and the functionality of the winery. The Wine ID team is responsible for all the coordination process, from the acquisition of machinery and material necessary for the processes inherent to the production of wine in a winery.

 

Wineries planned and projected by WINEID:

  • Fitapreta Vinhos
  • Quinta João Clara Vinhos 
  • Azores Wine Company
  • Quinta da Vinha 
  • Herdade Arrepiado Velho 
  • Quinta de Sant’ana 
  • Maçanita Vinhos
  • Quinta de Sequeiros 

 

Viticulture

WINEID was the pioneering consultancy company in Portugal, under António Maçanita, to use Zoning as a technique to qualify and identify the different vineyard parcels, in order to have a more adequate viticulture and, consequently, to better understand each quality grape parcel.

 

Winemaking Ethos

Wine ID follows a winemaking ethos that is based on the close control of all the operations inherent to the production of quality grapes and wines full of charisma and terroir.

Wine ID provides all the necessary support for the correct transport of grapes, winemaking, bottling and chemical analysis evaluation, ensuring that all processes are carried out in the most correct way to ensure the quality of the final product.

 

Brand Creation and Implementation Strategy

Wine ID also provides consultancy in the field of brand creation and implementation strategy, factoring in the nature of the target audience, the identity of the wine and the producer. Wine ID believes that focusing on these themes is fundamental to the success of a project and, although they may seem removed from the concepts of oenology and viticulture, the two worlds should be paired in harmony.

Events

Wine ID is a company rich in knowledge and full of spirits, Wine ID events are designed by customers and for customers to meet their needs and ideas.

Wine ID events are sophisticated in food, presentation and obviously in wines, whether for groups of 4 or 200. Wine ID works with wineries ranging from the Douro to the Algarve, to the Alentejo and the Azores.
