OUR WINES

Coelheiros' image transcribes its connection to the territory, origins and traditions. Inspired by the art of the Arraiolos' embroidery, it evokes the uniqueness of each block and each grape variety, and the way they are meticulously crafted, stitch by stitch, yet always integrated in their whole, in a perfect symbiosis with nature. Synonymous with consistency and endurance, this centenary art expresses the distinctive profile of our wines: wines with longevity that evolve with time.

TAPADA DE COELHEIROS RED

TAPADA DE COELHEIROS RED

A CLASSIC FROM ALENTEJO

Tapada de Coelheiros red is a historical wine that was first produced in 1991. Since the beginning, Cabernet Sauvignon has been an important part of the blend, and so it remains to this day, having become one of the icons of this variety in Portugal. 

THE SEARCH FOR BALANCE

The wine originates in Vinha Leonilde, which was planted in 1982 in honor of D. Leonilde Silveira, for her dedication to the land, estate and region. The experience of several harvests and a better understanding of our soils allowed for the introduction of Alicante Bouschet, leading us to the current blend. 

VINIFICATION

Each block is fermented separately in order to better express its singularity. It ages for 18 months in French barrels and 18 months in bottle. 

AROMA AND PALATE

Powerful nose with black fruit notes involved in spices and tobacco. The intensity of Cabernet Sauvignon's freshness stands out in the mouth, followed by the silky texture of Alicante Bouschet, leading to an elegant and persistent finish.

A HISTORIC VINEYARD

Located between two lines of water and one of cork forest, Vinha do Taco, expresses a unique profile with a perfect exposure combined with granitic soils.

Vinha do Taco is produced only in years of exceptional quality and in limited quantities. It is a good example of the extraordinary aging potential of Coelheiros wines.
