In September 2023, Fladgate Still & Sparkling Wines was established, marking a strategic acquisition by The Fladgate Partnership of the renowned IdealDrinks company. This pivotal moment heralded a new and exciting chapter in the storied history of the group, which has garnered global acclaim for over three centuries of excellence in winemaking.

IdealDrinks, with 13 years of unwavering dedication to the wine industry, had already carved out an impressive legacy.

Its reputation was built on the production of exceptional wines, rivaling the most prestigious regions of the world, including Champagne, Bordeaux, and Burgundy. This spirit of innovation and commitment to quality now finds a new home under the Fladgate Still & Sparkling Wines banner.

While IdealDrinks had been widely recognised in Portugal, our mission is now to introduce these exceptional wines to the international market, further solidifying the reputation of these esteemed brands worldwide.

This acquisition represents more than just a corporate merger; it symbolises the union of rich traditions and bold vision.

With a refined portfolio and an ambitious international strategy, Fladgate Still & Sparkling Wines aims to bring the best of Portuguese winemaking to a global audience, blending innovation with the time-honoured wisdom of generations.

At the core of our portfolio are wines that celebrate the diversity of Portugal’s wine regions. In Bairrada, we feature S. Lourenço, Calcário, and our flagship label, Principal. From the Dão region, the Quinta de Bella wines exemplify elegance and complexity.

Meanwhile, in the vibrant Vinho Verde region, we showcase two exceptional estates: Quinta da Pedra, devoted to Alvarinho, and Royal Palmeira, where Loureiro thrives with distinction.

This commitment to excellence underscores our mission: to honour the legacy of these brands while exploring new frontiers, delivering unparalleled experiences through still and sparkling wines that capture the character and authenticity of Portugal.

We invite everyone to join us in discovering the rich heritage of Portuguese winemaking as we shape the future with passion and dedication.
