Sustainable Wine’s Toby Webb speaks with João Barroso, Sustainability Coordinator for the Wines of Alentejo, and Luís Patrão, vineyard manager at Herdade de Coelheiros.

Located in the demarcated region of Alentejo (DOC), the Coelheiros estate is over 800ha, consisting of vineyards, walnut orchards, and a cork forest. With its holistic and cross-sectional approach to sustainability, Coelheiros is one of the first wineries to have received the Wines of Alentejo Sustainability Program (WASP) certification seal.

Listen to the podcast below to find out how the winery is approaching circularity, climate change adaption, organics, and more.
