A winery built entirely under ground to a depth of 20 metres, which sits seamlessly within the landscape and has no impact on the ecosystem.
Herdade do Freixo is an agricultural company based in the north-east of Portugal's Alentejo region, in the Redondo council area. The heart of its business is winemaking using grape varieties with great potential to adapt to the soil and climate of the estate along with innovative details that give its wines character and showcase the company's expertise.
This is around 300 hectares of pure Alentejo landscape, in the village of Freixo, between Évora and the Ossa mountain range. Our highest ambition is to preserve this rural landscape and for our wines to embody the heart of our Land, our vines and the terroir. This ambition is followed through with a winery built entirely under ground to a depth of 40 metres. It is unique in Europe, sits seamlessly within the landscape and has no impact on the ecosystem.
This is an innovative project with a respect for nature at its heart and an attractive terroir that is expressed in its wines.
