We are very proud to share with you the successes of the summer Mundus Vini tasting, one of the most important wine competitions in the world. We brought to Alentejo another 6 medals.
It is an indescribable feeling every time all the effort and work put into the grapes and wine throughout the year is rewarded in this way. Thank you very much!
Now at the winery, we still continue through the much loved grape harvest. This year we started the grape harvest a little earlier, around the beginning of August. The anticipation of the grape harvest was due to the high temperatures that were felt throughout the year in Alentejo.
On September 16th we were able to finish harvesting of the white wine grapes with the Antão Vaz variety. We are very excited with the results of this particularly hot and dry harvest.
Due to the heavy rains last week, we had to take a short break from harvesting. However, this week we are continuing with our red grapes. The sun is shining again and so nothing stands in the way of the harvest.
So far, we are very satisfied with our harvested grape material, although, as expected, we are suffering small losses in quantity due to the severe drought this year. These losses relate to about 10% of our white grapes. We remain excited about what the next few days will bring and how our grapes and musts will develop.
Our new apartments in the middle of our vineyards also invite you to spend the end of the summer here. They are the perfect destination for a relaxing getaway. The pleasant temperatures we have here at the moment are perfect for getting to know the Alentejo better.
