Abelharuco Tinto

Description

Abelharuco stems from the deep silences of the Alentejo landscape, the mysteries that inhabit its soils and the ancient knowledge of its people that gave birth to the Herdade da Madeira Velha. It is a place where time slows and the earth expresses itself authentically, producing wines with character and identity. A descendant of a tradition rooted in excellence, the estate benefits from the richness of grapes that make Alentejo a region of distinction, marked by quality and rigor. Located in the Évora district, a territory with ancestral origins dating back to pre‑historic times, the Herdade da Madeira Velha carries the memory of a unique land. Its name evokes the poet Luís de Camões, who, according to legend, supposedly lived here in 1548. This wine is a tribute to the Abelharuco, a bird with an unmistakable song that accompanies the Alentejo harvests. Born from the combination of terroir, grape knowledge, and skill, it is an elegant wine crafted from grapes harvested at their perfect ripeness of the Aragonez, Trincadeira, Syrah, and Alicante Bouschet varieties. Vinification: fermentation at a controlled temperature, with a stainless‑steel stage. Alentejo Regional Wine.
