Description

At first glance, the label of this wine appears distinctive: the numbered bottles of this limited edition and the winemakers’ signatures, together with the word Escolha (meaning “selection”), signal a treat worthy even of the most discerning wine lovers. The Relvas family’s respect for the soil, the environment, and the ancient traditions of winemaking culminates in this wine made from Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, and Touriga Franca. It is a wine meant to accompany special moments — carefully chosen food, family and friends, laughter, and a relaxed atmosphere.

The producer's responsibility focus areas

We have introduced sheep to the vineyards to reduce the use of weeds, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers through winter grazing. 50% of fertilization comes from animal compost and the winery's organic waste. In recent years, we have successfully reduced the amount of water used per bottle produced by 30 percent, and 100 percent of the water used in the cellar is recycled and used for vineyard irrigation. Because people come first, we promote local employment, provide good working conditions for our team members, create opportunities for professional growth, and invest regularly in training programs. We support social issues in the local community and local organizations.
