Tasting Notes:
In this Hermits' Land, at the foot of the Serra d'Ossa mountain range, there is evidence of uninterrupted wine production since the 14th century. In 1397, a Papal Bull exempted the Pauperes Eremitas (monks of the Order of Saint Paul, the so-called "Paulists") from taxes on their vineyards, demonstrating the importance these already held at the time. This is a special place—feel it! Two streams carry rainwater from the Serra d'Ossa, keeping the soil cool even during the intense Alentejo heat. From the same terroir and the same grape varieties, a new and fresh identity has emerged in the plots: our "Pequeno Eremita" (Little Hermit). Pequeno Eremita is a tribute to this unique place and to the grape varieties that once dominated the region's wine-growing landscape, but which have almost disappeared today.
