Their vineyards sit against a backdrop of gently rolling hills and the new eco-friendly winery boasts an on-site reservoir and remarkable olive groves which date back to Roman times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its southerly location, Vidígueira is one of the cooler Alentejo sub-regions and benefits from cool Atlantic air funnelled inland by a gap in the coastal hills. Just eight hectares of the estate are planted with white grape varieties, as indigenous, red Portuguese varieties are favoured. Considerable work has gone into mapping the estate's 12 different soil types and each variety is matched to its ideal plot. The limestone soils of the estate also lend elegance to the wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHerdade do Peso’s talented winemaker, Luís Cabral de Almeida has a post-graduate degree from Australia’s Charles Sturt University and worked for many years in the Finca Flichman winery in Mendoza, Argentina. Luís is very involved in managing the Herdade do Peso vineyards and believes that “the oenologist’s primary role is to interpret nature”. The wines of Herdade do Peso reflect Vidígueira’s unique sense of place, being exuberant, ripe and generous, yet kept in balance by refreshing acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"herdade-do-peso-alentejo-reserva","title":"Herdade do Peso Alentejo Reserva 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Herdade do Peso Reserva is a red wine blend of hand-selected Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional and Syrah grapes. Upon arrival at the Herdade do Peso winery, the grapes were de-stemmed and the berries hand sorted on the selection table before being gently crushed. The different varieties were vinified separately. After malolactic fermentation, the wines were aged in French oak barrels (around 20% of which were new) for 12 months. The final blend was assembled and bottled after numerous tastings and underwent six months bottle ageing prior to release. Deep ruby in colour, the wine reveals intense aromas of rich red berries, mingled with hints of black fig, warm nutmeg spice and tobacco. On the palate, it is soft and full-bodied with structured tannins and balanced acidity, culminating in a long and complex finish.
