Fita Preta Chão dos Eremitas Pequeno Eremita White

In this Chão dos Eremitas, at the foothills of the Serra d’Ossa, there is evidence of uninterrupted wine production since the 14th century. In 1397, a Papal Bull exempted the Pauperes Eremitas (monks of the Order of Saint Paul, known as “Paulistas”) from taxes on their vineyards, demonstrating the importance they already held at the time. This is a special place — you can feel it! Two streams carry rainwater from the Serra d’Ossa, keeping the soil cool even during the intense Alentejo heat. From the same terroir and the same grape varieties, a new and fresh identity emerged in the blends: our “Pequeno Eremita”. Pequeno Eremita is a tribute to this unique place and to the grape varieties that once dominated the region’s winegrowing landscape, but have now almost disappeared.
