Casa de Sabicos wines are mostly based on traditional grape varieties grown in the Family's vineyards. They are the result of the joint fermentation of the grape varieties (field blends), which is also traditional winemaking. As a result, we have wines with a strong character and identity, with the characteristics of each grape variety exceptionally balanced. 

​

The grape varieties used in Casa de Sabicos wines mix traditional and international varieties more commonly used in Alentejo wines. The primary red grapes include Trincadeira, Aragonez, Alicante Bouschet, Alfrocheiro, Touriga Nacional, and Tinta Caiada, with a small Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah production. The main white grape varieties are Arinto, Antão Vaz, Fernão Pires, and Chardonnay.​

​

Some wines age in French or Portuguese oak barrels (from 6 to 18 months), followed by a variable aging time in a bottle in a chamber with a controlled constant temperature.  

​

A few Casa de Sabicos wines are produced in small quantities and only in years of exceptional maturation. One such wine is 'Avó Sabica', so far launched in only three production years: 2004, 2011, and 2013 (currently on the market).

 

Strict control levels are maintained throughout the winemaking process, and the wisdom accumulated over the years contributes to the production of unique and high-quality Alentejo wines, making Casa de Sabicos a brand that represents the exceptional wines of Portugal.
