Adega Mayor Winery

The winery stands alone on a gentle rise in a wide plain of vineyards and olive groves near the border. The Portuguese architect gave it a long, low white volume that reads from far away against the flat landscape.

Production halls, a barrel cellar partly set into the ground, offices and a tasting room are arranged along its length, with a few deep openings that frame the vineyards.

The roof is a terrace with a shallow sheet of water, from which visitors look out over the plain. White render covers all surfaces, and inside the rooms are bright and plain.
