Herdade das Servas arguably lead the way when it comes to quality wine production in the Alentejo. Their attention to detail in the vineyard and focus in the cellar ensures that the winery boasts a stable of stunning wines that capture the heat and power of the region, but remain fresh and refined.
One of the most quality orientated producers in Alentejo, Herdade das Serves are one of the wineries to keep an eye on. With a centuries long family tradition in wine-making, the Serrano Mira family started work on constructing the winery in 1999.
Situated in Estremoz, they cultivate more than 350 hectares of vineyard, 80 of which surround the winery. Red grape varieties include Touriga Nacional, Syrah, Alicante Bouschet, Aragonês and Trincadeira whilst the white grapes list Roupeiro, Antão Vaz, Rabo-de-Ovelha and Arinto.
The cellar is kitted out with the latest temperature controlled technology, as well as plenty of capacity to vinify each individual grape variety individually. Interestingly, but increasingly popular for the region due the close proximity of quarries, is the marble largess used to tread fruit for the premium wines by foot.
