about the wine

Made slowly in the Alentejo and originating in the demarcated region of Reguengos de Monsaraz, it is a wine made from organically produced grapes, in poor, stony soils and in a continental climate, characterized by wide temperature ranges. Composed predominantly by Aragonez, Syrah and Touriga Nacional, it reveals the typical character of its origin. It is intense, with rich aromas, complex taste and excellent gastronomic aptitude. It’s a wine for all occasions.

Vineyards certified in Organic Production Mode.
The 2021 agricultural year was a rainy year. During the vegetative rest period (Autumn – Winter) precipitation values were higher than the average of the last 22 years, with temperatures remaining mild. These precipitation values led to the fact that, at the beginning of the vegetative cycle (Spring), practically all the soils had their water reserves completely reestablished. The budburst occurred earlier, and the higher temperatures observed during the spring accelerated the vegetative development until flowering. In summer, milder temperatures contributed to a regular development of the vegetative cycle, allowing maturation to take place in a regular and balanced manner.
