What The Fellas Say

Through tall windowpanes the world glows in the soft hush of late afternoon. The gardens below are carved in perfect symmetry—box hedges and gravel paths remembering footsteps that no longer fall. The air carries the scent of cherry and old oak, of velvet shadows stretching across stone and ivy, the shimmer of a ruby reflection caught in crystal glass, the hint of bergamot and wild berries drifting in the memory of faded elegance. This is a wine not just for drinking but for filling your heart with saudade.

What The Sommelier Says

Intense ruby colour. Aroma of ripe fruit with exuberant floral notes that lend it freshness and elegance. On the palate, notes of black fruit, such as cherry and sour cherry, harmoniously blending with nuances of wood. Impressive complexity and longevity.

Pairs well with…

…a succulent, seasoned piece of venison, a lamb tagine with dried apricot and preserved lemon, a dense rich fruit cake.

About The Winemakers

The project, initiated in 2013, aims to preserve and enhance the cultural and natural heritage of Casa de Santar and Magalhães, as well as the surrounding village of Santar. The unique landscape of the village, defined by continuous garden terraces and vineyards, has been unified by breaking down walls and creating a seamless narrative for visitors. This project opens Santar’s historic gardens and vineyards to the public, revealing the area’s hidden beauty while promoting social, cultural, and economic development. In the realm of wine production, the project has evolved into a collaboration with Sociedade Agrícola de Santar SA, where Casa de Santar wine is produced. Additionally, Santar Vila Jardim Wines Lda. was founded to focus on boutique, high-quality wines using grapes from the best vineyard plots. Two wines, Santar Vila Jardim and Memórias de Santar, have been created, with the latter sourced from the original plot that produced the renowned Conde de Santar wine. The family’s original winery has been modernized to support the vinification and aging of these exceptional wines.
