Organic wine tasting at Son Alegre vineyard
Biodynamic vines, ancient olive trees and a philosophy of wine that begins in the soil.
A morning among the vines, from soil to glass.
Spend a few hours at Son Alegre, walking through the vineyard before sitting down to taste the wines with something to eat. The experience gives a sense of how the estate works from the ground up, with the landscape, the farming and the wine all closely connected.
Wine shaped by the land.
Around twenty minutes from Campos, Son Alegre takes an organic, ecological and biodynamic approach to its vineyards, with biodiversity treated as an essential part of the way the estate farms. Traditional methods remain part of that philosophy, creating wines with a character that feels closely tied to their surroundings.
Each glass has something beside it.
The tasting is accompanied by tapas chosen to complement each wine, making the experience feel considered rather than simply a succession of pours. Take your time with each pairing, then decide whether one of the bottles deserves a place in your suitcase.
Olive trees, old methods and open ground.
Ancient olive trees sit among the vines, while traditional ploughing methods are still used across the estate. There is nothing particularly showy about it, the appeal lies in seeing a way of farming that has been allowed to remain part of the landscape, and tasting the result afterwards.
