Although the year 2019 presented challenges due to a concentrated rainy season in April, most grape varieties resisted any damage. The summer proved to be cooler compared to previous harvests, allowing the grapes to achieve a very good balance at harvest. In turn, in 2021, spring and summer were mild and dry, reducing disease pressure and prolonging the vegetative cycle.
Both wines come from rainfed vineyards, surrounded by cork oak forests, sheep, hares, birds of prey, bats, and many other species that help maintain the balance of the vineyard ecosystem and control the appearance of pests.
Today, the entire property that gives rise to this historic brand is managed through sustainable and regenerative practices, with organic and regenerative agriculture being a vital pillar of everything produced and offered at Tapada de Coelheiros.
