Description

Herdade São Miguel Vinha Jardim is a perfect expression of what we consider an exceptional vineyard site. Vinha Jardim originates from the schist-rich soils of Herdade de São Miguel, specifically from the very first Touriga Franca and Alicante Bouschet vines that my father planted more than 20 years ago. Many people referred to these vineyards as a “garden” because of the meticulous care with which they were tended. Today, these vines produce an intense, fresh, and elegant red wine. It is a testament to the outstanding potential of these grape varieties, which are often underestimated, says Alexandre Relvas.

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.
