In 2007, Aveleda launched the Follies range, a collection of five premium wines whose outstanding quality has been distinguished by the press and savvy consumers from around the globe. The creation of this brand is the result of a long term partnership between Aveleda and Professor Denis Dubourdieu, the famous producer from Université de Bordeaux. With this joint venture, we have designed five new concept wines (three of them coming from Quinta da Aguieira) offering extraordinarily different profiles with the highest standards of quality and innovation. 

After several trial harvests, in 2003 our team of viticulture identified a plot of old vines from the Touriga Nacional varietal with highly concentrated grapes and outstanding maturation conditions. In order to obtain more freshness and color, we added a small percentage of Tinto Cão, a traditional Portuguese variety. That production was  vinified separately.

Thus, we have created an iconic wine in our portfolio, a result of hard work based on the experience we have acquired throughout the years.

Grande Follies will surprise you and your senses through a combination of feelings and emotions that cannot be described with words.
