Elite Vinhos

In 2014, after selling part of their business, Christian Vermet and his wife Mary started looking for a new project to work on together. They fell in love with the wine making region of the Alentejo in Portugal and bought Herdade de Ceuta. They started with 3 hectares of vines and quickly became consumed by viticulture. They became firm friends with their technical advisor Filipe Perdiz and his wife Helena both of whom own vineyards and are qualified winemakers. Over many glasses of wine it became clear that all four shared the same dream, to make a top quality Alentejo wine. They bought more vineyards, then an old farm building and in 2018 they held the inauguration of their Adega to coincide with the bottling of their first wines. Their different cultural and life experiences makes for a dynamic team and drives them to break their individual boundaries and move forward with a common goal to develop individual wines from their terroir.
