Origin and winery: Herdade do Sobroso in the Alentejo

Located in the heart of Portugal's Alentejo region, near the town of Vidigueira, lies the family-run Herdade do Sobroso. Since its founding in 2002, the estate has combined traditional viticulture with modern techniques. Its location in southeastern Portugal, on the banks of the Guadiana River and in the shadow of the Serra do Mendro mountains, creates a unique microclimate. Long, dry summers and cool nights contribute to optimal grape ripening.

The estate produces both white and red wines and is known for its work with local grape varieties. Winemaker Mariana Inês Lança is committed to the pure expression of terroir and grape, aiming for wines that combine elegance and power.

Grape varieties and vineyards of the 2023 Sobroso Tinto

The 2023 Herdade do Sobroso Tinto is a blend of three characteristic Portuguese grapes: Aragonez (Tempranillo), Alicante Bouschet, and Trincadeira. These grapes come from vineyards situated on sandy and granite-rich soils, which contribute to refined minerality and structure. Yields are kept low to enhance the quality and concentration of the fruit.

Vinification and maturation with attention to balance

After careful hand-harvesting in the early morning, the grapes are cooled to preserve their aromatic intensity. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 24 to 26°C. Following fermentation, the wine is briefly aged in French oak, which gives it softness and subtle spicy notes. The wine is bottled without excessive filtration to preserve its integrity.

Color, aroma and taste of the 2023 Sobroso Tinto

This red wine displays a deep ruby color in the glass. The nose unfolds a profile of ripe red berries, black cherries, a touch of spice, and floral notes. On the palate, the structure is supple, with soft tannins and a fresh acidity that keeps the wine lively. Aromas of juicy plums, blackberries, and a hint of cocoa form the heart, followed by a medium-length, elegant finish.

In the soft Alentejo light you’ll find Herdade do Sobroso. A place where wine and landscape go hand in hand, without fuss. Perfect for anyone who loves authenticity.

Herdade do Sobroso history & location

Herdade do Sobroso is located in Vidigueira, in the warm heart of the Alentejo, close to the Alqueva dam and on the banks of the Guadiana River. The estate was purchased in the early 2000s by the family of Sofia and Filipe, who were still students at the time. She studied animal science, he studied oenology. Together they built a wine estate that has since become a well-known name in the region.

The location is quite special. In the north, the Mendro mountains protect the vineyards, while in the south the plains stretch endlessly. To the east flows the Guadiana River, bringing freshness and a unique microclimate. This gives the wines of Sobroso their extra depth and character.

Which grape varieties grow here?

Across 60 hectares of vineyards you’ll find both native and international grape varieties. For red wines: Aragonez, Alicante Bouschet, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Trincadeira, Alfrocheiro, and Petit Verdot. For whites: Antão Vaz, Arinto, Alvarinho, Verdelho, and Perrum. This mix allows them to produce both powerful blends and fresh, fruit-driven styles.

Specialties of Herdade do Sobroso

One of the highlights in their portfolio is the ‘Anas’ range, named after the river that flowed through this region in Roman times. The gravelly soils and the proximity of water result in elegant, structured wines.

A few fun facts

  • The estate covers more than 1,600 hectares, with thousands of cork oaks alongside the vineyards.
  • There’s more to experience than just wine: jeep safaris, hot-air balloon rides at sunrise, kayaking, and cycling through the vineyards turn it into a full experience.
  • The estate restaurant serves typical Alentejo dishes, complemented by traditional sweets such as sericaia and torta de laranja.
