The Ciclo Vinho project was born in 2020 in the Estremoz area, one of the most renowned wine regions in Alentejo, Portugal. With a mission to create free-spirited wines, they work with small wild vineyards, using minimal intervention to return to the essentials and embrace ancestral methods.

The name Nouveau Ciclo is a nod to Beaujolais Nouveau, as, like these French wines, it is vinified using carbonic maceration—something quite uncommon in the Alentejo region. Sourced from limestone soils at an altitude of 330 meters, this "Alentejo nouveau," the first wine bottled after the harvest, is wonderfully balanced, medium-bodied, and incredibly easy to drink. The new kid in class that everyone instantly likes.
