Melro

It is between the lost valleys beyond the Tagus River, which have sheltered different ancient civilizations, where the elements come together as a soft melody. Here, the vines grow strong, nurtured by sun and water, under the Blackbird’s magic song.

The Blackbird considered sacred in ancient Greece, the guardian of Druid mystical secrets and tempter of St. Benedict, it is in him that we have found both name and inspiration for this unique wine.
