This wine comes from a coutada – a private hunting ground – on Herdade da Mata, in the Alentejo. An area that, for decades, served as a reserve and a means of preserving the existing great biodiversity. This biodiversity is reflected in this wine through its complexity and structure, as is the private character of the coutadas through the nobility and exclusivity that this wine of superior quality presents.
