About us

Grandfather José Margarido is responsible for this entire adventure.

The name ‘Adega da Gaveta’ appears as a tribute to grandfather Zé. It was a habit in these more rural areas for friends to get together on the weekend and visit each other's wineries. When this happened at Margarido's wine cellar there was always something to snack on in the drawer of the wooden table – which still remains today.

Winemaker Francisco, grandson of José Margarido, initially trained in the field of Electrotechnics, took a liking to the wine industry and even before graduating in Enology realized that he needed to explore the potential left by his grandfather.

Our production is organic in a minimal intervention approach, both in the field and in the winery, expressing in an authentic way our Tagus region, Tomar sub-region, and we believe that wine should reflect what the grape offers us, which is why which is why we only use stainless steel tanks, both for fermentation and aging. Additionally, we produce vegan-friendly wines.
