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

Portugal has been an important center for wine production ever since the Phoenicians and Carthaginians discovered that the many native grape varietals that grow in the country could be cultivated for making excellent wines. After all, Portugal has something of an ideal wine producing climate and terrain; lush green valleys, dry, rocky mountainsides and extremely fertile soil helped by long, hot summers and Atlantic winds. Today, such a climate and range of terroir produces an impressive variety of wines, with the best wines said to be coming out of the Douro region, the Alentejo and the Colares region near Lisbon. Portugal has an appellation system two hundred years older than France's, and much effort is made by regulating bodies to ensure that the quality of the country's produce remains high, and the wines remain representative of the regions they are grown in.
