Vale das Éguas tinto

In the hippodrome of the Roman spas of Miróbriga, horses born and bred in Vale das Éguas used to run, which were chosen for their unique characteristics of competitiveness, endurance, speed and elegance. Today, in the same valley, there is the Herdade do Cebolal vineyard that produces this elegant and balanced wine, with a good aroma and smooth finish.
