Herdade dos Outeiros Altos Sem Sulfitos 2021 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 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 harvest, for 20 kg boxes, took place on the 13th, 17th and 18th of September 2021. From the “vineyard” plot, we picked up Trincadeira and Aragonez in the middle of the lower slope; to the “vineyard of Monte” parcel, we picked up Touriga Nacional next to the riverside and Alicante next to Monte. From the “Vinha Velha” plot, we picked up Alfrocheiro.
In the cellar, the grapes, after destemming and light crushing, fermented naturally. Part of the blend aged for 6 months in used French oak barrels. The wine has not been filtered. It was bottled in March 2022. In the entire process, SULFITE WAS NEVER ADDED.
