Vineyard of Cerdeiredo

This name is used to describe one of the oldest vineyards on the property and one of the wines in our Vineyards Collection range - Vinha de Cerdeiredo. It is a small collection of traditional red grape varieties (whose origins dates back to the time of Diogo Teixeira Coelho's grandfather, Inácio Xavier de Barros Teixeira Coelho) that we decided to preserve during the major vineyard restructuring carried out in the early 1990s. This process involved collecting and selecting the branches od the old vines of the existing red grape varieties that existed throughout the estate, including Azal Tinto, Amaral, Rabo de Ovelha, Espadeiro, Borraçal, Touriga Nacional, Padeiro and Vinhão. Currentley, at 34 years old, the Vinha de Cerdeiredo continues to surprise us.
