Abegoaria dos Frades Rosé

The story behind Abegoaria dos Frades Rosé

Abegoaria dos Frades is rooted in Alentejo’s heritage, where terroir and climate shape wines of strong identity. The vineyards are influenced by the Alqueva Dam, benefiting from advanced irrigation systems that help face the hot and dry summers of this region .

With precision viticulture, the winemaking team ensures that each grape is harvested at the ideal ripeness. The harvest is carried out manually and transported under strict conditions, preserving freshness and the expressive aromas that define Abegoaria dos Frades Rosé.

Winemaking of Abegoaria dos Frades Rosé

A carefully controlled process

At the winery, the grapes are gently destemmed and softly pressed in a pneumatic press. A static decantation at low temperature follows, lasting between 24 and 48 hours, guaranteeing ideal must clarification. Fermentation takes place with selected yeasts at controlled temperatures, preserving the aromatic profile of the grapes .

After fermentation, the wine rests for about six months on fine lees, with occasional bâtonnage. This process enhances texture, complexity, and depth.

Grape varieties behind the rosé

Abegoaria dos Frades Rosé is crafted from a balanced blend of Aragonês, Moreto, and Syrah. A brief skin contact and direct pressing preserve its lightness, delicacy, and freshness, while keeping the fruity character alive.
