Who we are
About the farm
We make our wines in the Alentejo, in the Borba area near Orada: Swiss couple Erika and Thomas Meier took over the estate in 2010, and on its marble- and limestone-rich soils we grow ten grape varieties, seven red and three white. The vines are tended and harvested by hand; the wine ferments in stainless steel and is aged in French oak barrels. Alongside red, white, rosé, amphora and sparkling wines we also offer olive oil from Galega olives. By prior arrangement we welcome visitors in our tasting room, where the wines can also be bought at the winery; part of the range is available in our online shop.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
