Description

This gold medal winner at ‘Best Wines of Alentejo’ by the Alentejo Region (Portugal, 2020) is only made with the best hand-selected grapes from the premium plots on the estate. The grapes were pressed & lightly crushed with 3-week fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. One third of the juice was aged for 3 months in new 225-litre French oak barrels to add a touch of creaminess without jeopardizing the freshness of the grapes.

Citrus colour with green reflections around the edge of the glass. On the nose, an intense vanilla aroma of ripe melon & pear. Rich & refined palate, full-bodied yet elegant, with a very long finish, balanced with a dominating freshness. Finally revealing the strong mineral character.

It is a wine that can be enjoyed young or cellared in the knowledge that it will age with distinction. Chicken or vegetable Korma, lobster (if you are feeling indulgent), oven-baked cod or pea asparagus risotto.

Casa Clara

Casa Clara is a 3rd generation family project and their wines are created 100% from the grapes of their two properties located in the heart of Alentejo: the Herdade da Capela, on the left bank of the Guadiana, in the Moura sub-region, and Quinta de D. Maria in the Serra do Mendro, near the Alqueva, in the sub-region of Vidigueira.

The name of the company is a tribute to Mariana’s mother, Clara Roque do Vale, who have always be linked to the world of wines, having been distinguished in 2020 with the award "The Best of the Year" (together with Jancis Robinson MW) of Revista de Vinhos who highlighted her as a "pioneer, booster and profound militant of the development of Alentejo as a region producing wines of international quality".

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.
