2021 Herdade Aldeia de Cima Garrafeira white

Herdade Aldeia de Cima Garrafeira White reflects the distinctive richness and freshness of the Serra do Mendro terroir, where soil, climate and local grape varieties combine to express an Alentejo of its own identity. Aged in French oak vats, it displays aromatic complexity marked by fresh fruit, mineral notes and hints of Mediterranean woodland. Fine-textured and beautifully balanced on the palate, it combines intensity with freshness, reflecting the character of high-altitude vineyards and the Atlantic winds that shape this unique terroir.

With a unique biodiversity, at Herdade da Aldeia de Cima, the implantation of 20 hectares of vineyards follows the different contour curves of the slopes and valleys, in two distinct terroirs: one on the plateau with elevations of 289 to 300 metres and the other in the Serra do Mendro with elevations of 300 to 380 metres, in an unusual orography that allows the zoning of 24 micro-terroirs.

The wines are designed in the vineyard, where the philosophy of the search for ancient knowledge, diversity, the minerality of the soils and the silky textures, reigns supreme.
