Herdade do Sobroso is located in Vidigueira in the Alentejo region. This is one of the oldest wine regions in Portugal. In the beautiful Alentejo, Herdade do Sobroso has a perfect location with its vineyards located on the banks of the Guadiana River and its tributary Rio dos Patos or the river of the ducks. The trademark is therefore the ducks on the labels. It is the perfect setting for ripening the grapes and only a few vineyards have this luxury and this partly explains why this winery can make very fine wines because there is never a water debt. In addition to the fact that there is sufficient water, this region is the only one within the Alentejo that has the influence of the ocean that ensures healthy ripening.

The Herdade do Sobroso Reserva Branco is made from 100% Antão Vaz grapes. With this wine, the winery looks very carefully at the exact right moment of ripeness of the grapes. And when this moment arrives, the grapes are picked by hand and then destemmed and lightly crushed. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel barrels with a controlled temperature for 25 days, after which the wine is allowed to mature further in oak barrels for 6 months "Sur Lie" and then also gets some time to mature in the bottle.

The Sobro Branco Reserva Branco (Barrique Select) has a clear color in the glass with a very light green/yellowish hue. In the nose fresh notes of flowers and tropical fruits. The wine is medium-bodied in the mouth, somewhat spicy and very layered with the complexity of the Antão Vaz which gives the wine extra freshness and intensity. This wine reflects the terroir of Alentejo. This is a real terroir wine and is gastronomically a beautiful glass with refined fish such as a sea bream, tuna or grilled brill. Also a great wine that combines excellently with creamy sauces with rich fish dishes and mature cheeses.

Registered oenologist and culinary journalist Anne-Wies van Oosten recommends this wine with a bouillabaisse with redfish, cod, catfish, peeled mussels, prawns and raw squid rings.

WINE-FOOD SUGGESTIONS

  • Grilled sea bream with lemon and olive oil
    The fresh acids and subtle wood tones of the wine go perfectly with the delicate taste of sea bream and the citrus accent of lemon.

  • Salad with goat cheese, pear and walnuts
    The creamy goat cheese and the sweetness of the pear are beautifully balanced by the fresh and slightly spicy notes of the wine, while walnuts provide extra bite.

  • Risotto with green asparagus and Parmesan cheese
    The creaminess of the risotto and the fresh character of the asparagus complement the rich texture and lively acidity of the wine.

  • Baked cod with a white wine and caper sauce
    The full body of the wine stands up to the firm structure of the cod, while the fresh acids nicely refresh the sauce.

  • Roasted chicken fillet with lemon and thyme
    The spicy and fresh profile of the wine fits perfectly with the juicy chicken and the Mediterranean herbs.

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.

Herdade do Sobroso as an experience
