Parcela V 2016, 75cl

Regional Alentejano

Herdade das Servas

Viticulture: Parcel V, installed in red soil derived from brown or crystalline limestones, with patches of schist, benefits from a Mediterranean climate with high thermal amplitudes and hot, dry summers. After necessary interventions during the vegetative cycle, the grapes were harvested manually and transported to the winery in crates.

Vinification: The grapes are destemmed, followed by pre-fermentation maceration in a marble lagar for 48 hours. Fermentation takes place in a lagar and stainless steel tank with temperature control.

Aging: Once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine aged for 12 months in French oak barrels of 1st and 2nd year. After bottling, it rested in the cellar for 36 months. To preserve all its qualities, this wine has not been stabilized and may naturally create sediment.

Longevity: Between 20 to 30 years, if stored in a cool, dark place with the bottle laid down.

Food Pairing: Red meats, game, strong cheeses, and charcuterie. Decanting is recommended.

Winemaking: Luís Serrano Mira and Ricardo Constantino. Viticulture: Carlos Serrano Mira and Ricardo Constantino.

Serrano Mira

Serrano Mira is the surname resulting from the union of two families who have been producing wine in Alentejo for 13 generations. Serrano Mira is also the name of the wine group led by Luis Serrano Mira, which includes the Alentejo estate Herdade das Servas and Casa da Tapada in the Vinhos Verdes region.

Luis Serrano Mira was born into a family of producers with a strong connection to rural property and wine. He grew up observing their practices and proudly paying attention to the teachings passed down by great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents. From an early age, he became aware that nothing is achieved without hard work and sacrifice. He believes that dedication and commitment are key factors for the quality and consistency of a project, reaching their highest potential when there is a symbiosis between inherited knowledge and innovations introduced in the present. He considers this to be the mark of his time and the legacy he is leaving for future generations.

The Serrano Mira family’s connection to this universe dates back to the year 1667, as evidenced by two amphorae that have been passed down from generation to generation. This heritage, upon reaching the hands of Luis Serrano Mira, inspired him to conduct an exhaustive historical survey, portrayed and documented in the book “The History of Vine and Wine in Alentejo – Legacy of a Family Producing Since 1667.” These two wine vessels have eight-pointed stars engraved on them, now used in the Serrano Mira logo, symbolizing good fortune, regeneration, abundance, and protection of crops, as well as truth and hope.
