Who we are
About the farm
We farm 250 hectares near Orada (Borba) in eastern Alentejo – vineyards, olive groves, arable land, pastures and cork oak woodland – and the whole estate has been certified organic since October 2021. The grapes from our roughly 7.5 hectares of vines (Arinto, Verdelho, Aragonez, Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro) are vinified at the neighbouring Herdade da Cardeira winery, we press our own olive oil (Galega, Cobrançosa), and we also offer multifloral honey. We keep Garvonesa cattle, Merino sheep and bees; we rent out holiday apartments to guests and are happy to give guided tours of the farm.

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.
