WINEMAKER

When you first meet Maria Vicente, an Alentejo native, it is hard to believe she already has over 20 vintages under belt. A skilled winemaker with extensive oenological experience and a profound understanding of the region and its most suitable grape varieties, responsible for the ‘magic’ at ODE Winery.

But Maria’s passion for wine doesn’t stop there. She is also an enthusiastic and certified educator of Madeira and Port wines, a WSET Teacher, and an accomplished wine judge at both regional and international competitions.

When not graciously imparting her wine knowledge, Maria enjoys spending time in the lagares, whether full of grapes or not, and is known to spill the occasional glass of wine.
