The Guedes family had always rated the quality of the Herdade do Peso grapes – they had been using them in their Vinha do Monte wines since the early 1990s – and jumped at the opportunity to purchase the estate in 1996. Situated in the south of the Alentejo, in the sub-region of Vidígueira, the Herdade do Peso estate covers a total of 457 hectares, 160 hectares of which are currently planted with vines. Winemaker Luís Cabral de Almeida makes expressive and generous wines that reflect the warmer climate of the Alentejo.

Herdade do Peso ‘Trinca Bolotas’ Alentejo Tinto 2024
13.5% abv
Vol- 75cl
‘Trinca Bolotas’, which translates to ‘acorn muncher’, is a nod to the acorn-eating Iberian black pigs native to the Alentejo region. An unoaked blend of Touriga Nacional, Aragonez and the Alentejo’s infamous teinturier grape Alicante Bouschet, it is bursting with ripe and juicy blackberry, black cherry and plum flavours.
Upon arrival at the winery, the Touriga Nacional, Alicante Bouschet and Aragones grapes were destemmed and underwent a soft crushing followed by a 3-4 day maceration. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, at a controlled temperature of 26ºC and with gentle pumping over. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was racked off the skins and aged in stainless steel.
