The homestead
The energy that emanated from the nearly 160 hectares of land was what captivated us immediately and led us to invest, making it the project of a family that felt the need to disconnect from the city's whirlwind and focus on the simplicity that the buzz the Ribeira do Sôr provided.
The project
The appeal of the land crossed with the perception of the importance of agriculture in our culture, in our Portugal, because if there is anything we have it is this potential: water, climate, land... Which gave rise to an estate named Barroqueira, where we decided to dedicate 20 hectares of vineyards, an investment that wants to be transformed into a family legacy, which creates the conditions for subsequent generations in the Seixas Correia family to maintain their desire for simplicity, the bucolic and the pleasures of life.
Adega do Sôr Wines
The wine from Adega do Sôr was born from the will of a family that knew nothing about wines and vineyards, ours. It was on a Sunday trip to Montargil that we decided to get to know Ponte de Sor… It was close by and it was another place to explore and, perhaps, add to our list of places that we love to know and make known so much.
The Seixas Correia family is made up of places, people, experiences… We went and were immediately enchanted by the atypical city of Alentejo. It is not the typical Alentejo region of plains as far as the eye can see, of cork oak forests, the houses are not as whitewashed as our collective imagination, but the peace, tranquility and lightness that we love so much… are there…
No two meals are alike. Much less in large families who like to explore the best gastronomy has to offer. Herdade da Barroqueira's range expresses the best of the terroir of this region with its White and Red wines, as well as the single variety Touriga Nacional and Cabernet Sauvignon.
