VINHO REGIONAL ALENTEJANO
Winery facts
On the rocky slopes of the foothills of Serra d’Ossa , where once there was dust, rockroses, small oak trees and arid land, are now planted 10 acres of vineyards.
A vineyard that resulted from the effort, dedication and perseverance of all those that, under the Alentejo’s relentless sun, rewarded us with their work and sweat.
