It’s a field of strawberry bushes overhung with an orchard of red plums and red apples and gnarled old olive trees. It’s a bright, crisp moment of frozen time from a hundred years ago, as fresh and alive as if it was yesterday. No filter. A fully expressive but infinitely patient slow wine made from old vine red and white grapes.
What The Sommelier Says
An exotic blend of red and white aromas, light tannins and lots of flavour. An extremely gastronomic wine. Drink it chilled!
Pairs well with…
…arroz de Cabidela, Alheira a Mirandela, manchego cheese.
About The Winemakers
Cabeças do Reguengo is a family-owned winery in Alto Altentejo producing biodynamic wines. Their terroir, tucked under the lower slopes of the Serra, is geographically distinct from the usual Alentejo climate and landscape. Their wines are ALL from century-old or antique vineyards (75+) and are ALL field blend, which makes for some fascinating, complex wines, even at entry level. Their viticulture is free of chemicals and dedicated to restoring traditional farming systems, including grafting onto dead or old vines to retain and revive the original grapevine stock – expensive, bold and risky, but that’s the only way to fully restore the vineyard that makes the wines they love so much.
