Herdade dos Outeiros Altos Reserva 2018 Red
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 Douro, had no connection with Alentejo, other than appreciating the region's wines. They saved up and set out in search of land in Alto Alentejo, and it was love at first sight when they found Herdade dos Outeiros Altos.
