Herdade do Cebolal Blanc de Noir Castelão

Herdade do Cebolal was one of the first estates on the Alentejo Coast, to produce certified red wines with the “Castelão” grape variety in the late 30s-40s. In 2015 producer Luís Mota Capitão and his family decided to develop different styles from the “Castelão” grape variety in order to show the full potential of this unloved and forgotten grape variety in recent years.
