Vineyards

The Herdade's first vineyard was planted in 1989 and the first harvest in 1992 and marketed under the Vidigueira brand. Later the brands Pousio and Quatro Caminhos were added and recently the Marmelar brand. In recent years the winery has been expanded and restructured and currently covers 43 hectares. The white varieties (Alvarinho, Antão Vaz, Arinto, Roupeiro and Verdelho) occupy 1/3 of the total area of the vineyard and the red varieties (Alicante Bouschet, Aragonez, Baga, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Syrah, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Touriga Nacional and Trincadeira) occupy the remaining 2/3. With abundant production, the Herdade produces almost 400,000 bottles of white, red and rosé wine.
