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:
2019 was a warm vintage in the Península de Setúbal. There were no significant weather events which interrupted the growth cycle. Harvest took place under good conditions and the fruit reached good maturity.
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 tanks, followed by a long skin maceration. The wine was then aged for 12 months in 225-litre second use French and American oak barrels followed by four months in bottle, prior to release.
OUR TASTING NOTES:
A richly flavoured wine with aromas of smooth, ripe red and black fruits complemented by chocolatey flavours. Structured with a velvety texture, this wine has great concentration and complexity.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Aragonez 25%, Cabernet Sauvignon 25%, Syrah 25%, Touriga Nacional 25%.
