The selection of the grape varieties that underpin the Foundation’s wine production is the result of a combination of vast experience and scientific information. The choice of established Alentejo grape varieties recommended for the Controlled Designation of Origin Alentejo, Évora sub-region, has been fundamental in the creation of the wines. The white wines mainly use recognized Alentejo grape varieties such as Roupeiro, Antão Vaz and Arinto, while the red wines are made from traditional varieties such as Trincadeira, Aragonês and Castelão. Less traditional but equally qualitative varieties are also used in residual parts.
