Cortes de Cima Incógnito 2021

Upon her return to Portugal after years of study and experience abroad, including a bachelor’s degree from the “Harvard of viticulture and oenology”, the University of Adelaide, and internships with spectacular producers in Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Stéphane Ogier in Côte-Rotie, the “Anna of the world” decided to reveal a new and incredible Alentejo. From her admirable trials, which range from 700 metres above sea level in the Serra de São Mamede to the sea level of her vineyards on the Alentejo Coast, the refinement, precision and freshness reverberate with contagious energy. The exploration of the terroir, organic cultivation and unique care with viticulture give life to extremely vertical wines full of “drama factor”.

Wine:
The Cortes de Cima icon had not been produced since the 2014 harvest, and now returns to the market within the producer's new holistic philosophy, signed by revolutionary winemaker Anna Jorgensen

The wine is absolutely incredible, and in this 2021 harvest it presents elegance and refinement at its highest level.
