Concurrently, she was finding an interest in wine. By 2012, she was interning at wineries in Alentejo and elsewhere in Portugal. In 2013, she met Pedro Marques from Vale da Capucha. From there, her interest in more honest, real wines took off. Ultimately, apart from the small things like a marriage and a family, the goal became to start a winemaking project together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the beginning, they purchased a small amount of grapes from farmers they trusted. The project evolved into the Las Vedras (“the old ones”) label, and they acquired a very small 2 hectares of vineyards. Torres Vedras is roughly an hour north of Lisbon, at the foot of the Serra de Montejunto, the highest ridge of mountains in the Estremedura region of Lisbon. The mountains act as a barrier to some of the prevailing winds, which, depending on the annual conditions, can either benefit or harm the vineyard. From this area, Sónia and Pedro work multiple vineyard sites. With these windy conditions, the pruning system is traditionally a type of short-pruned goblet called Asas de Mosca (“fly wings”) for the shape of the tying. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBesides themselves, and Vale da Capucha, there isn't a single organic producer in the DOC Torres Vedras. With the work they are doing, however, other like-minded producers are beginning to take note and interest in the area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Louis Dressner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67675561722108,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.winetroy.com\/products\/las-vedras-branco-limo-2022","provider":"Troy Wine Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
