This summer, Tapada de Coelheiros presents its suggestions for white wines – Coelheiros Branco 2023, Tapada de Coelheiros Branco 2022, and Alto 2018 – three unique and distinct wines, ideal for the hot and long days of this season, living up to the legacy of the terroir where they are found – the Alentejo.

Coelheiros Branco 2023 is a wine from the Vinhas do Monte and do Alto, dominated by white grapes, particularly Arinto, which is the base of this wine. This white wine is characterized by citrus notes, such as lime and grapefruit, enveloped in notes of stone fruit typical of the Antão Vaz grape, which adds complexity to this wine. This wine balances freshness, vibrant fruit, and complexity, ideal to accompany seafood or serve as a summer aperitif.

Tapada de Coelheiros Branco 2022, a fine example of its vintage, is a blend of Arinto (50%) and Roupeiro (50%) grapes. A wine that translates the vibrant expression of Tapada de Coelheiros’ commitment to sustainable and regenerative agriculture. This white wine stands out for its expressive citrus notes, with a focus on grapefruit and very fine notes of wood. On the palate, it maintains the citrus profile, with unctuousness, body, and vigor. Perfect to accompany baked fish dishes, seafood, or fresh salads, making it an excellent companion for hot days.

Tapada de Coelheiros Alto 2018 is a white wine that stands out for its vibrancy on the palate, driven by the characteristic acidity of Arinto, possessing a silky texture and an elegant body. Pale yellow color with golden hues, with aromas of ripe fruit, almonds, and notes of vanilla. On the palate, it is rich and structured, with a balanced acidity and a long, elegant finish. It is ideal to pair with more elaborate dishes, such as risotto, white meats, and cured cheeses, for a summer dinner with friends and family. “These three white wines, with their particular and unique characteristics, reinforce Tapada de Coelheiros’ path in producing irreverent wines that do justice to the diversity of the terroir where they are found – a fresh, vibrant, and elegant Alentejo,” says Luís Patrão, the project’s winemaker.

Located in Arraiolos, Alentejo, Tapada de Coelheiros holds the Sustainable Production certification by PSVA (Alentejo Wine Sustainability Program), an achievement that also reflects an integrated vision of sustainable wine production, where concern for the environment and the local community are intrinsically linked to the production of high-quality, fresh, and vibrant wines.
