Winery
This is the banner-bearer wine of the property, whose name is inspired by the beautiful soutos located near the vineyards that are at its origin, namely the best plots of Alicante Bouschet and Syrah, which contribute practically equal parts to this Souto Vineyard of the family's debut harvest. The low production of these plots give rise to a precise and concentrated wine, with elegant structure that reflects the remarkable freshness provided by the higher quotas of the privileged location on the slopes of the Serra de São Mamede that rises from the Alentejo plain, warmer and drier.

Country: Portugal

One of the oldest regions of Portugal for wine production and vine cultivation is the Bairrada, the lush and clay-rich region responsible for an impressive range of red, white and rosé wines of exceptional quality. As with much of the country, this region benefits from long, hot summers, allowing the grapes to ripen to full maturity and thus carry a wide range of flavors and aromas. However, each region of Portugal produces wines which reach a high level of quality, from the more urbanized regions around Lisbon and Porto, where the famous fortified and Colares wines originate, to the island of Madeira and the Dao river valley, which each have their own distinctive wine cultures. The several thousand years of viticultural history in Portugal has allowed Portuguese wineries to master their own traditional techniques, which are still employed to this day across the country, yielding excellent results for the world to enjoy.
