ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Santo Isidro de Pegões was founded in 1958 and has subsequently seen significant investment in the winery and vineyards. Today, the cooperative is made up of 100 winegrowers and has access to over 1,200 hectares of vineyard located in the Terras do Sado area of the Setúbal Peninsula. This coastal area benefits from mineral-rich sandy soils and cooling Atlantic winds, in which indigenous varieties thrive. Santo Isidro de Pegões is one of the most forward-thinking cooperatives in Portugal and their chief winemaker, Jaime Quendera one of Portugal’s most respected winemakers. In 2018, Santo Isidro de Pegões was awarded the Portuguese Wine Producer of the Year Trophy from the IWSC.

THE VINTAGE:
In 2022, average weather conditions allowed all the phenologic states to occur within the normal ranges and the grapes reached good maturity levels with balanced acidity and sugar. The harvest took place at the end of August and into September and the resulting wines are beautifully balanced and express good varietal character.

ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The Pegões vineyard is located between two Nature Reserves: the Tagus estuary to the Northwest and the Sado on the Southwest. To the east are the Arrabida hills and to the west the Alentejo province’s clays. The unique soil here is named “Pliocenico de Pegões”. It is a sandy soil formed over millions of years by sand transported by the Rivers Tagus and Sado. It is this Mediterranean climate and soil combination that creates this unique Pegões terroir.

THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
Fermentation took place in temperature controlled stainless steel vats followed by long maceration, in order to extract just the right amount of colour, flavour, fine tannins and aromatics. This wine was made without any oak influence to showcase the purity of fruit from the Castelão variety.

OUR TASTING NOTES:
A soft and juicy wine made from the Castelão grape, with vibrant notes of red damsons and plums with subtle spice, in an easy-drinking style.

GRAPE VARIETY:
Castelão 100%.
