Anna Jorgensen took over this winery from her Danish-American parents in 2020 with international training at Stéphane Ogier and Dumol, and she's redirecting Alentejo white wine toward elegance rather than power. Sixty percent Alvarinho, forty percent Sauvignon Blanc, fermented in large Stockinger barrels with native yeasts and aged six months on full lees—the result is bright, salty, and energetic with a crystalline minerality that feels refined. Mediterranean sunshine creates richness, but Atlantic influences and careful winemaking keep it fresh. Organic certified since 2023.
