Camaleão Vinho Verde Alvarinho 2025

Wine has always been in his blood. His grandparents were producers and his older brother was a winemaker. Perhaps, even before he knew it, his destiny as an oenologist and wine producer had already been mapped out for him. 

Both his maternal and paternal grandparents were producers in the Dão, Douro and Vinhos Verdes regions. From an early age João Cabral Almeida was involved with wine and the world of wine. In his family of eight siblings, five are working in the wine sector. His destiny in wine turned out to be a natural choice, decided by taste and not by any kind of imposition. He studied Agronomy at the ISA, knowing that oenology and viticulture would be his future.

During his academic career, he carried out grape picking in various parts of the country and the world, having his brothers as advisors in projects referred by the brothers. He went through Esporão, Taylors, Sogrape, Symington, among others. Passing through Argentina, among other wine regions.

João Cabral de Almeida lives the world of wine with great passion, despite the tremendous demands he makes. He is one of those winemakers that gives his face for his wines, where travelling is a constant.
