"The Vineyard

A viticulture free of chemicals and somewhat dreamlike

Our viticulture is free of chemicals and is part of a family project to restore the traditional farming system.

We decided not to pull up a single century-old grapevine , but rather to restore the vineyard through layering and through replacing the dead vines using plants exactly the same as the existing ones.

So, we planted the old Rupestris du Lot gcadminstock, later grafted to the old pruned grapevines in order to get a new grapevine the same as the existing one. It’s expensive, somewhat bold and risky, but that’s the only way to fully restore the vineyard that makes the wines we love so much.

We still have lots of varieties, all mixtures, even though there are blends where reds dominate and others that are for whites. Variety is the spice of life."

+ Info +

Vineyard: Made from multiple ancient varietals present on a very old vineyard located at the outskirts of the Reguengo village, in Serra de S. Mamede (the unique mountain above 1000 meters’ altitude in the South of Portugal). The vineyard faces eastward, at an altitude of 598 meters, and the soil is granitic (Ordovician).
Yields are very low. We cannot indicate any variety dominance. There are about 14 different varieties from a mass selection made until the early twentieth century.

Vinification: Fully healthy grapes were harvested and were put in 14 kg boxes. They were then crushed, pressed and naturally decanted for 48 hours. The fermentation with natural yeasts took place in 1 new 1.000 litres cask, until the end of the summer. It was bottled without fining and with a light filtration.

Analysis: Total Acidity: 5.1 (g/dm3) | Total Sugar: 2.5 (g/dm3) | pH: 3.49
