The herdade Monte da Ribeira and Herdadinha belong to the Leal da Costa family, descendats of Count of Ervideira, successful farmer in the XIX and XX century. The Count, who received is title due to his family's work in that region, began producing wine in 1880.
With 160ha of vineyards divided by Vidigueira and Reguengos, Ervideira's administration is assured by D. Maria Isabel, the family's matriarch and by her six sons, beeing Duarte Leal da Costa the executive manager. Oenology is Paulo Laureano's responsabilty.
Producer: Ervideira Sociedade Agrícola
Region: Alentejo, Portugal
Granach deep color showing youth.
Average intensity nose, showing good fruit with notes of orange peel and redcurrants.
Is very smooth in the mouth with well tamed tannins, the structure is acceptable and the ending fits well with the rest.
Well long story short....
This is a great red wine (at least for me).
I would recommend you to try it out...
This red wine I will repeat for sure :D

I shared a bottle of this with a friend of mine last night, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Delicious flavor and not too biting, perfect for drinking sans appetizers.
Glad you enjoyed this one ;)
We tried this wine last night at a dinner party and we loved it! It was brought by one of our guests and it was given to them as a gift. Do you have any idea where we might be able to purchase this wine in the Philadelphia area?
