The Herdade do Arrepiado Velho vineyard is located in Sousel, about 40 kilometers from Portalegre, in the Alto Alentejo. The estate was acquired in 2002 by the Antunes family, who launched an ambitious project: to make Arrepiado Velho a benchmark of excellence in the Alentejo.

Thirty-three hectares were planted from scratch in a terroir that uniquely combines schist soils with steep slopes, mild temperatures, and abundant water—natural characteristics that point to great potential.

David Booth, head of viticulture, and winemaker António Maçanita combined their expertise, innovation, and dedication, selecting red grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot, as well as white varieties including Antão Vaz, Chardonnay, Viognier, Verdelho, and Riesling.

The existing winery has been equipped with the most advanced technology and is perfectly sized for the current production of unique, appealing wines—born from modern winemaking while remaining deeply respectful of tradition.
