Estate
A historic Alentejo property on the Serra de São Mamede granite massif, elevated above the flat plains typical of the region. Sold in the late 1990s to a sparkling wine company and quality declined. Purchased in 2017 by Fundação Eugénio de Almeida and placed under the direction of Pedro Baptista, the enologist behind Pera Manca. Biodynamic farming was implemented immediately. White vines date to 1903, supplemented by massal replants roughly forty years old.
