Founded by a Danish sailing couple who restored a derelict Vidigueira farm, Cortes de Cima now farms over 100 hectares organically and biodynamically, pouring tiered tastings with olive oil, bread and cheese.
The Vidigueira cooperative's traditional Wine Month runs tastings, gastronomic pairings and producer showcases of talha and DOC Alentejo wines across the whole of November, tying together the harvest's end and the Sao Martinho talha openings.
Tip: Check the cooperative's programme for individual tasting dates; the events are spread across the month rather than concentrated on one weekend.
Cortes de Cima farms its Vidigueira vineyards under a regenerative philosophy, working to rebuild soil life with plants and animals, and ferments the Chamine Tinto with spontaneous, whole-bunch fermentation rather than inoculated yeast. The estate has not published a formal organic or biodynamic certification.
Tip: Chamine shows the estate's low-intervention style at an everyday price; Cortes de Cima frames this as regenerative farming philosophy, not a certified scheme.
