Cortes de Cima Cheira-Bem Red Wine

Cortes de Cima is a renowned family-owned winery located in the Alentejo region of Portugal. The brand was established in 1988 when Danish-American couple Hans and Carrie Jorgensen decided to settle in the Alentejo to plant vines. They were pioneers in the region, particularly known for planting Syrah in an area where it wasn't traditional, ultimately leading to some of Portugal's most acclaimed wines.

The specific 'Cheira-Bem' line is known for its distinctive and playful illustrations by Danish artist Hauke Vagn Jensen, often featuring the iconic singing cat. The wine is produced and bottled on the family estate in Vidigueira, utilizing sustainable viticulture practices. The brand remains under the direct stewardship of the Jorgensen family, maintaining its status as an independent, family-run producer within the competitive Portuguese wine market.
