    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). Golden colour with aromas of honey and marlelade, alongside earthy and mineral notes. Full bodied with a creamy palate and a fresh finish.

    This is a remarkable and delicious wine with both weight on the palate and wonderful freshness, enhanced by a light sour note note on the finish. There's a firm texture and a long fresh finish.

  • 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. View our selection.
