This wine associates its quality with the name of the Carthusian (Cartuxos) monks who, between 1598 and 2019, led a solitary life of prayer in the Monastery of Santa Maria Scala Coeli.
It was first produced in 1986 and is based on the most common varieties of alentejo: Trincadeira, Aragonez, Alfrocheiro, Periquita, Moreto and Tinta Caiada, planted in the vineyards of the Eugénio de Almeida Foundation. When the grapes reach the ideal ripening state, they are harvested and transported to the winery, where the technological process begins with total desengace and slight crushing. Then, the grapes are fermented separately, in stainless steel vats, at a temperature of 27ºC, followed by prolonged post-fermentative macerated.
It aged for 12 months in French oak barrels and barrels and 12 months in bottle. Its a wine with good structure, elegant and that combines the aromas of the varieties used to a persistent and complex flavor.
