The story

The property where the vineyard is installed was acquired by the great-grandfather of the current winemaker in the first quarter of the sec. XX and exploited according to what is convenient in each season – initially cattle with the pig at the head.

As a result of the Spanish Civil War, followed by World War II, which created huge shortages of everything in Europe, the Government at that time initiated a policy to promote cereal production. It was the golden age of Alentejo Agriculture, until the sixties/seventies when it was necessary to look for complementary alternatives. Among these are the vine!

They produce the grape in a sustainable way, concerned about the environment. They adhere to the standards of integrated protection and greening. Until the sprout of the strains, the herbs are controlled by grazing sheep and post-bursting by mechanical means, thus avoiding the use of pesticides.

Alfrocheiro, Aragonez e Alicante Bouschet are the main grape varieties for the reds. Antão Vaz, Arinto e Viosinho are the main grape varieties for the whites.
