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.”
