AZAMOR Wines is a boutique, family-owned and run winery in the Southeast of Portugal, i.e. the Alentejo. Its wines are fruity, balanced, persistent, elegant and with soft tannins. The winemaker, a British woman who married a Portuguese and grew up drinking French wine, fell in love with Portuguese wines, and decided to experiment with Portuguese and French varieties.
The 350 meter above-sea-level, 25 acre vineyard has been planted on schist soils, and is one of the most densely planted vineyard in the region.
We follow sustainable principles, and minimum intervention of treatments and products, both in the vineyard and in the winery. We practice precision viticulture applying the minimum number of treatments to the vineyard, usually 2-3 times during the growing season, as opposed to an average of 8-10 times which is typical in this region. We pick by hand, being the harvesting decision taken based on the grape flavour and analysis. The production is around 90.000 bottles (though the exclusive ICON D’AZAMOR has a limited production of 2-3.000 bottles). We use our own indigenous ferment to reflect the authentic characteristics of each variety and its terroir.
Grapes are pressed in a traditional basket press, to minimize tannin extraction, before being transferred and stored in stainless steel tanks. Some are selected for oak barrels. Whilst ageing, we keep the wines slightly “reduced” to limit the quantity of sulfur in the wine.
All the production process takes place on the estate and grapes are entirely our own.
85% of our production is being exported to various countries in Europe.
