Herdade de Coelheiros

Coelheiros' image transcribes its connection to the territory, origins, and traditions. Inspired by the art of the Arraiolos' embroidery, it evokes the uniqueness of each block and each grape variety, and the way they are meticulously crafted, stitch by stitch, yet always integrated into their whole, in perfect symbiosis with nature. Synonymous with consistency and endurance, this centenary art expresses the distinctive profile of our wines: wines with longevity that evolve with time.

Herdade de Coelheiros, a Family-Owned Winery Since 1991

Herdade de Coelheiros is a family-owned winery established in 1991 in the wine-growing region of Alentejo. Their wines have a deep connection with the natural surroundings as they preserve the region’s traditions and maintain a balance with their ecosystem. Their estate has 50 hectares of vineyards and 40 hectares of walnut orchards. Animals like deer, sheep, ducks, rabbits, and hares are common in the region. Joaquim and Leonilde Silveira bought the winery in 1981 and planted the vineyards. By 1996, Herdade de Coelheiros wines received a lot of international acclaims and received multiple prestigious awards. In 2015, an entirely new chapter began when Alberto Weisser and Gabriela Mascioli acquired the estate and took over the business.
