Limestone and Schist Give the Wines Their Shape
The estate’s 48 hectares contain both deeper, fertile limestone—bringing balance and freshness—and poorer, austere schist—delivering concentration and minerality—together defining the wines you’ll taste.
A Sustainable Facility Framed by an Old Windmill
The main winery building sits against the Alentejo landscape beside an old windmill; the facility was built for sustainability and operational efficiency, a clean stage for the tour through cellars and barrels.
Inside the Cellars — Barrel Tastings with the Producer
Accompanied by the winemaker, you’ll taste wines still aging in barrels, compare grape varieties and different lots, and hear the production secrets that shape each bottling.
