Herdade Aldeia de Cima is Luisa Amorim's new project, responsible for managing the wines of Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo in the Douro and Taboadella in Dão. Although Herdade Aldeia de Cima has belonged to the Amorim family since 1994, it was not until 2017 that the decision to rebuild the property, together with the planting of a vineyard at levels in the Serra do Mendro, became a life project. The location of the estate, Serra do Mendro, has unique characteristics, which gives rise to a wide variety of microclimates and, consequently, micro terroirs. The vineyard will also differentiate the type of wines it will produce: The Alfaiates vineyard, the first to be planted, is located in spots of irregular geometry characterized by peaks and its sun exposure combined with an unusual thermal amplitude is essential to give the wine freshness. The Aldeya Vineyard and the Sant'Anna Vineyard will be born on the plateau. The soil will influence the structure, perfume and body of the wine. The Family Vine is a reproduction of the ancient agriculture, using an archaic training system, based on goblet vine training, the vines - that have no wire lattice-work and display a “crawling” appearance - are surrounded by the same micro-climate. On the estate, viticulture is practised in integrated production mode and later converted to organic production mode. Joaquim Faria is responsible for viticulture, Jorge Alves, as consultant, and António Carvalheiro, as resident, are the winemakers of the wines produced at Herdade Aldeia de Cima. Alyantiju and Herdade Aldeia de Cima Reserva are the first wines from this property.
