Herdade Vale D'Évora Grande Discórdia 2019 Red

Herdade Vale d’Évora is located a few kilometers from the beautiful village of Mértola, in the lower Alentejo. The 550-hectare property located in the Vale do Guadiana Natural Park enchants with its landscape of great beauty. It is a wild game reserve, an immensity of hills and undulating terrain that meander the Guadiana river and very close to the village of Mértola. Visiting the estate is like a safari, seeing rabbits, hares, partridges, and even the Iberian lynx. At the same time, this is a wild beauty, with a harsh climate, where the poor shale soils and the scarcity of water mean that the vine lives on the edge, in a constant struggle for survival.
It is the proximity of the Guadiana river that brings some moderation and provides the fundamental acidity to the final balance of the wines that are made here.
