The Very First Day
The story of Aliestre Vineyards began with a journey. Carsten Kullik, a wine lover from Berlin, travelled to the Alentejo region in Portugal. In the small village of Estremoz, he experienced outstanding hospitality, incredibly heartwarming people and above all, a lovely light turning the scenery into golden shades. He then met the famous winemaker Luis Louro and they became friends. Both had the same impression: “We are in the right moment at the right place.”
One aperitivo later, they had an enlightenment: To compose a wine as liquid extraction of the sacred Estremoz’ spirit.
