A excelência dos nossos enólogos

Rozès's team of winemakers is made up of Manuel Henrique Silva and Luciano Madureira. As both senior technicians graduated from the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD), by the only root oenology course existing in Portugal, they had the following path:

Manuel Henrique Silva

Technical Director

Graduated in Oenology, from the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD), he did his curricular internship in a company in the Port Wine sector, where he exercised functions in Quality Control, in the Department of Enology, and was responsible for the Center of Winemaking. He also passed through the Cartaxo region and Bucelas, until he joined the ROZÈS, SA team in 1994.
His natural academic curiosity, his passion for knowledge and his technical demand in the production of Douro and Port wines, immediately led him to assume the role of Technical Director and Resident Oenologist at Rozès, being in charge of leadership of the technical team and bottling. The research and development work carried out in a team with Luciano Madureira, both in the field of Enology and in the field of Viticulture, and with the use of new winemaking technologies, has ensured the quality of our wines over these years, a fact evident by the distinctions and awards received.

His contagious energy, his capacity for innovation, work and determination are the essence that lead him to assume the roles of Resident Winemaker and Production Director. From a very early age, he realized the potential of Douro Wines and has worked hard on them, so that our Douros are, along with Port Wine, a brand image of the Rozès house. The research and development work carried out as a team, with Manuel Henrique Silva, both in the field of Enology and in the field of Viticulture, and with the use of new winemaking technologies, has ensured the quality of our wines over these years, patent for the distinctions and prizes received.
