Product description
Pedro Ribeiro and his wife Catarina Vieira moved to Vidigueira, an area which benefits from an excellent micro-climate, to produce wines that are true to the historical traditions of Alentejo. Their wines are fermented in impermeable clay pots called Talha, where both wine and skin remain in contact for a much longer period then sealed by olive oil to prevent oxidisation.
Made with Perrum, Roupeiro, Rabo de Ovelha and Manteudo. A ‘natural’ wine bottled unfiltered, with no temperature control, no addition or correction to the juice or the wine, and no stabilisation (potentially resulting in some harmless sediment in the bottle). Orange colour with aromas of honey and marmelade, alongside earthy and mineral notes. Full bodied with a creamy palate and a fresh finish.

12%. 40% Perrum, 30% Roupeiro, 20% Rabo de Ovelha, 10% Manteudo. Golden colour. This has really distinctive flavours of stone, clay and spice, with some honeyed citrus fruit and a bit of baked apple. There’s a touch of mint, too, which brings out the freshness. Has a long, textured, grainy finish. Quite distinctive and structural, but with some delicacy too.

About the producer
About the producer: Espaço Rural
Espaço Rural is the personal project of Pedro Ribeiro and his wife Catarina Vieira. Both winemakers from other Portuguese regions decided to come to Vidigueira, in Alentejo, to produce wines that are true to the historical traditions of this region. Vineyards in Vidigueira are planted on hills mostly oriented west/east benefiting from cooler temperature. They also lie on schist and granite soils allowing slow ripening of the fruits and maintaining low alcohol level. Their selection of grapes, low-yields, careful pruning and early harvest are some of the procedures they fastidiously follow, but the main innovation happens in the winery. As a tribute to the region they ferment their wines in impermeable clay pots called Talha, where both wine and skin remain in contact for a longer period. The resulting wines are mineral, fresh, elegant and above all, authentic. Their wines recently caught the attention of renowned wine critic Julia Harding MW, who writes for JancisRobinson.com, she gave high scores to both their red and white wines.
