Tasting note

This wine is all about all about fruit and freshness. It's made from a field blend, as are all of Cabecas do Reguengo's cuvees. This one includes the Manteúdo grape (also known as Listan in Andalucia) and gives a clean and crisp character with good, fresh citrous fruit and green olives.

To enhance the depth of freshness, the vineyard is situated 675m above sea level. It goes without saying that the grapes are hand-picked and sulphur is avoided as far as possible. Three quarters of the must is fermented at a low temperature before the wine is matured for 9 months in very old oak barrels (225/500 litres) and with no malolactic fermentation.

It goes well with oriental foods in particular. Dishes with ginger, coriander & spring onions. Stir-fries are a fantastic match, as well as plenty of shellfish, seafood & prawns.

Producer

Cabecas do Reguengo

Cabeças do Reguengo is a winery situated in the Portalegre subregion of Alentejo, Portugal, known for its commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture. The estate preserves ancient vineyards, some over a century old, planted at altitudes between 500 and 735 meters in the Serra de São Mamede Natural Park. citeturn0search2 These vineyards, characterized by granite and schist soils, are cultivated without synthetic chemicals, emphasizing biodiversity and sustainability.

In the winery, traditional methods are embraced, including foot treading in lagares and fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Aging occurs in neutral vessels such as cement vats and old oak barrels to maintain the wine's authentic expression. citeturn0search2 Notably, some wines incorporate unique techniques, like adding chestnut flowers to the must, imparting subtle floral nuances. citeturn0search0 The resulting wines are elegant, mineral-driven, and reflective of the unique terroir, showcasing the winery's dedication to minimal intervention and traditional practices.

Region

Alentejo

Alentejo, located in southern Portugal, is one of the country's largest wine regions. Known for its vast, sun-drenched landscapes and diverse terroirs, it benefits from a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters, which is ideal for viticulture.
The area is renowned for its robust red wines, often crafted from indigenous varieties such as Aragonez (Tempranillo), Trincadeira, and Alicante Bouschet. These reds are characterised by their rich, full-bodied profiles, with deep fruit flavours, well-integrated tannins, and a smooth finish. It also produces notable whites from grapes like Antão Vaz and Arinto, which are known for their fresh acidity, citrus notes, and aromatic qualities.
