Herdade Aldeia de Cima

We studied the history of wine and vineyards in the Alentejo region, a continuous presence in time and space of tradition, geology, textures, and aromas. We preserve the genuineness because we feel from the beginning that we have time. We sought out the traditional grape varieties. We found them, they were close to us. It is in the simplest processes that we achieve transparent wines, and the Reserve Red is a wine of the territory, of emotion, an authentic messenger. We wanted to understand the nature of the micro-terroirs, and we succeeded.”

Herdade Aldeia de Cima

Dans la Herdade Aldeia de Cima, il n’y a pas de terrain comme les autres. Ses caractéristiques particulières ont attiré et installé la population ici depuis des temps immémoriaux. C’est sur une terre fraîche, à 330 mètres d’altitude et sur la pente du rocher mère xisto, que le village a été construit.
Santana est un petit village de la municipalité de Portel, à côté de l’ancienne voie romaine entre Évora et Beja, qui borde Vidigueira, à la limite sud de l’Alto Alentejo. “Sant’Anna da Serra do Mendro” est mentionnée pour la première fois au XVIIIe siècle, après le remaniement de l’église médiévale, entre “deux villages qui l’appellent huma a de Baxo, un autre a de Sima”, selon les souvenirs de la paroisse de Portel, Vila Viçosa, de 1722 à 1832. La colonie de “Sima”, référencée en 1758, aura donné naissance à la Herdade Aldeia de Cima”.
