Herdade dos Outeiros Altos 2021 Rosé
Jorge Cardoso and Fernanda Rodrigues were colleagues in Vila Real, where they studied agronomy and became enchanted by viticulture during their tours of the Douro. After a few years, they decided to look for the perfect place for their family wine production project. Jorge, born in Lisbon, and Fernanda, from the Douro, had no connection with the Alentejo, except for their appreciation of the region's wines. They pooled their savings and set off in search of land in Alto Alentejo, and it was love at first sight when they found Herdade dos Outeiros Altos.
Vinification
The manual harvests took place between the end of August and the end of September and only in the morning. The grapes harvested in 20 kg boxes were immediately transported to the cellar after harvesting.
Soon after the arrival of the grapes at the winery, they were destemmed, crushed and slightly pressed. The batch fermentation took place at controlled low temperatures (16ºC).
