2024 · Natural Mystic Vinho Verde

Companhia de Vinhos Invencível is a small-scale Douro producer founded in 2020 as a joint venture between Rita Marques of Conceito and South African winemaker Marc Kent of Boekenhoutskloof. Based in Casais do Douro in the Cima Corgo, it works with steep, high-altitude vineyards, including field blends and vines over 90 years old. Farming is biodynamic and sustainable, with low yields and hand-harvesting, while traditional foot-stomping reflects a hands-on winemaking approach. The winery produces small quantities of white and red wines; some grapes, including those for Natural Mystic, are sourced from multiple Vinho Verde vineyards.
