A two-hour drive from Lisbon, we find the Terra d'Alter winery in the Alto Alentejo region. Alentejo is predominantly flat with some hills and enjoys a Mediterranean climate. The soils are remarkable for their diversity, allowing the grapes to develop a unique character. Terra d'Alter produces a wide range of quality wines made from traditional grape varieties. Before founding Terra d'Alter, winemaker Peter Bright gained extensive experience in vineyards in South America and South Africa. It was precisely thanks to his exceptional expertise that Terra d'Alter's wines became a resounding success.
This Verdelho from Terra d'Alter is a gem. This wine is made entirely from Verdelho, a grape variety best known for its use in Madeira wines. It's also the Portuguese name for the famous Verdejo. Upon opening this bottle, a broad bouquet greets you. You smell subtle notes of white fruit, such as apple, ripe pear, and a hint of white peach. Refreshing. The taste of Terra d'Alter VER Verdelho is just as invigorating as its aroma. You'll taste notes of white fruit, as well as peach and citrus like grapefruit. The fresh character of Terra d'Alter VER is fantastic on the palate. In our opinion, this Portuguese wine is the number one thirst quencher.
