Alentejo (Portugal)

Red Premium developed by Eladio Piñeiro in his mansion-cellar of Alentejo

After an intense search for five years, in 2004, we located a vineyard 35 years with very poor soils of slate, drop-offs and soft South exposure. Bringing more than eight in transition to biodynamic, in this period of time has been easy this transition, since the plant protection treatments to which it was subjected were almost non-existent. The vineyard is trellised, at a height of soil is relatively low, the pruning is done in Guyot double and its expansion vegetative is small, located on the northern boundary-the centre of the Alentejo, which has a very special microclimate, it is protected to the south-southeast, by the Serra da Ossa, to the north, for the Sierra de San Mamede and to the west by the Sierra of São Miguel.
