The Herdade do Arrepiado Velho vineyard is located in Sousel, about 25 miles from Portalegre, in Alto Alentejo. Acquired in 2002 by the Antunes family, the estate launched an ambitious project: to make Arrepiado Velho a benchmark of excellence in Alentejo.

Thirty-three hectares were planted from scratch in a terroir that uniquely combines schist soils, steep slopes, mild temperatures, and abundant water — natural characteristics that indicate 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, and white varieties including Antão Vaz, Chardonnay, Viognier, Verdelho, and Riesling.

The existing winery has been equipped with advanced technology and is perfectly sized for the current production of distinctive and captivating wines — born from modern winemaking while fully respecting tradition.
