Located in Turcifal, in the Torres Vedras region, 8 kilometres from the sea, Vale da Capucha has belonged to the Marques family for generations. The vines are planted on clay-limestone soils rich in fossils. The humid climate and mild temperatures favour the production of white wines and delicate, fresh reds. Pedro Marques, who turned his passion into a life's work in 2009, is now in charge of the project. His family had always made wine, but they had always focused on quantity rather than quality. With Pedro's arrival, things changed. He replaced the old vines with white grape varieties from other areas of Portugal, such as Visionho and Gouveio from the Douro, Antão Vaz from the Alentejo, Alvarinho from Vinho Verde and even Viognier from France. For the reds, he chose Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Castelão and Syrah.
In June 2015, the conversion of the vines to the SATIVA organic production method was completed. Fermentation is carried out with natural yeasts and sulphites are used in minimal doses. The maximum human effort is applied in the vineyard and the minimum in the cellar. The result is pure, elementary wines that express a place and a taste of the Atlantic coast of Lisbon for terroir wines.
Mineral and honey notes, orchard fruit and vegetable freshness. Very rich on the palate, with strong acidity and a textured finish.
Aroma with subtle red fruit, vegetal, revealing mineral and smoky notes (limestone). Elegant in the mouth, enveloping in texture, it reveals freshness and good suitability for light dishes.
