2024 Alcateia white

Alcateia white is crafted exclusively from Arinto and Perrum grapes grown at Herdade da Retortinha, in the northern Alentejo. The vineyards, planted at around 200 metres of altitude on vertically layered schist soils, produce a wine that reflects the authenticity and distinctive character of this unique terroir.

It displays a bright citrus colour and aromas of citrus fruit complemented by delicate floral notes. On the palate, it is elegant, with excellent freshness, generous texture and remarkable balance.

The finish is long and persistent, highlighting the purity and expression of its grape varieties.

Herdade da Retortinha is a family-owned estate located in the municipality of Sousel, Portalegre, where an unusual highland Alentejo landscape gives rise to wines of distinctive character. Since 2015, the family has been dedicated to interpreting this unique terroir while preserving the balance between the vineyards, biodiversity and the surrounding environment.

Guided by a sustainable philosophy and a commitment to making a positive impact on the land and the region, Herdade da Retortinha crafts authentic wines that faithfully express their origin and the passion of those who produce them.
