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:
A wonderful white wine with a unique refinement reminiscent of the best low-intervention wines from France, especially for Jura lovers. High levels of salinity, combined with vibrant acidity and a very well-executed touch of reduction.
A wine that expresses the family's terroirs in harmony: the meeting of the fresh Vila Nova de Milfontes with the generous sun of Vidigueira.
Alvarinho and Sauvignon Blanc (10%) are grown on the cool sands of the Atlantic coast. Viognier comes from inland vineyards in Vidigueira. Harvesting is natural and always takes place at night, to preserve the freshness and health of the grapes.
The wines ferment spontaneously with wild yeasts, in a low intervention philosophy also in the cellar. The aging takes place for 10 months in 2,000 liter oval foudre made from Austrian oak - on lees. Only 26 mg/l total So2.
