RED WINE RESERVA 2021 PEDRA SÓ
Viticulture and Winemaking in Bairrada: Honoring a Legacy
Viticulture and winemaking have centuries-old roots in the Bairrada region, particularly in Cordinhã, Cantanhede. Idálio Estanislau Wines honors this rich family heritage by producing authentic wines that respect the local ecosystem and traditions. The small-scale vineyards (minifúndios) reflect the dedication and wisdom of past generations, carried forward by those of today.
An exceptional terroir—characterized by clay-limestone soils and privileged sun exposure—greatly contributes to the wines' quality. The region’s proximity to the Atlantic Ocean brings morning fog that naturally balances grape acidity. Indigenous grape varieties such as Baga, Moreto de Cantanhede, and Bical lend a distinctive identity to the wines.
The brand PEDRA SÓ pays tribute to the historic site where the vineyards were once cultivated by the clergy of the Monastery of Santa Cruz. Winemaking is carried out with minimal intervention, preserving the grapes’ natural expression.
Born from Idálio’s passion for viticulture, this project represents a deep commitment to elevating and promoting the wines of his homeland.
