Herdade dos Coelheiros Winery
The estate started making waves when winemaker António Saramago came on board in the early ´90´s. Production is quite small with only 38 hectares under vine. A variety of both Portuguese indigenous varietals and foreign varietal are grown and used in the blends including Cabernet Sauvignon, Aragones Trincadeira, Chardonnay, Roupeiro and Arinto. A visit to this estate is a treat, a highlight being a tour of the beautiful property with its cork trees, walnut orchards and vineyards. The colonial style country house is lovingly landscaped with tropical and local plants and is painted in typical Alentejo colors. The owner Maria Teresa Leal is one of the most exuberant personalities in the Portuguese wine world and her enthusiasm is infectious.

The Alentejo is one of the most beautiful and undiscovered gems of a wine region in Europe, and the Herdade dos Coelheiros estate is one of the most fascinating. Known for their high-end dry reds and whites (their Tapada de Coelheiros Chardonnay regularly wins wine contests and is considered to be one of the best whites in Portugal), the estate is also home to major walnut production (100 hectares), a cute 9 bedroom B&B, a Cork forest and hunting grounds. Located nearby the tiny carpet making village of Arraiolos, the distinctive wine labels of Tapada de Coelheiros are actually inspired by the famous decorative rugs.
