2023 Rabo de Gala Kosher white

The properties of Casa Santos Lima are located in the municipality of Alenquer, 45 km north of Lisbon, in a region where the winegrowing tradition is centuries old and the typical rural landscapes appear with enormous beauty.

The vineyards extend over gentle slopes at altitudes of between 100 and 220 meters, with excellent sun exposure and a climate tempered by the gentle sea breeze from the Atlantic Ocean, which is about 26 km away. The predominant type of soil is clay-limestone, from the Upper Jurassic period, and numerous examples of fossils of marine life have been found, including traces of dinosaurs (Apatosaurus alenquerensis).

The replanting of the vineyards has been done at a regular rhythm since 1990, with the noblest Portuguese grape varieties, which here present a unique regional character, and also, to a lesser extent, with the best international varieties. In the more than 200 hectares of vineyards belonging to the Santos Lima family, one can find an enormous diversity of grape varieties.

Kosher wine is produced in accordance with Jewish dietary laws (kashrut). To be considered kosher, it must be made by observant Jews and use kosher equipment and ingredients. This production covers a variety of styles, from reds and whites to sparkling wines, with many winemakers focussing on quality. Kosher wines are appreciated not only by the Jewish community but also by wine lovers in general, offering a rich experience while respecting traditions.
