Description

Small is often beautiful when making wine. Special and carefully selected grapes are not always available in large quantities, and many wine lovers consciously seek something other than mass-produced wine when looking for personality and character in their glass. They don’t mind if this is considered a little snobbish. There isn’t much of this wine, and it reflects the very essence of Casa Relvas by combining the character and expressiveness of Alentejo with elegance, depth, and clarity.

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.
