Tasting Notes
Clear, garnet color, it has an intense aromatic profile on the nose, suggesting ripe fruits, with soft notes of wood and hints of spices.
On the palate it is full-bodied and well balanced, with robust tannins and well-combined acidity, ending with a long and elegant finish.

Herdade Grande is an agricultural property located about 5 km from Vidigueira / Alentejo, with a total area of 350 hectares, of which 60 hectares are vineyards, 40 hectares are olive groves and the rest are for sheep grazing. This property has been owned by the same family for about 1 century, having been acquired in 1920, when the vineyard and olive grove were present crops.
