Vinhos Sin Fronteiras

Located in Baixo Alentejo, on the left bank of the Guadiana River, the region of Amareleja has climatic and geomorphological characteristics that are particularly challenging for vineyard culture. In this territory of significant thermal amplitudes and long summers of intense heat, several nations have recognized its agricultural potential throughout history—especially for wine and olive production. 

It is presumed that the Tartessians first started here with the domestication of vines and the subsequent introduction of wine to the region. Then came the Phoenicians, the Greeks, and only then the Romans – who generalized the culture of vine and wine in the Alentejo. The mark of the Roman Empire's ancestral wisdom remains in our days, both in the viticultural practices and in the traditional winemaking in clay pots (amphora).

Vinhos Sin Fronteiras is a relatively new wine label that has emerged as a pioneering force in Iberian winemaking. This project is born from the passion for Vinho de Talha (Amphora Wine) of Amareleja, for its people, customs, and traditions. It unites several generations of different origins and histories around the reverence that we all share for this patrimonial heritage and its role in this region’s identity, with pride and respect for the land and what it offers.

By collaborating with Adega Marel, Sin Fronteiras has forged a partnership that transcends geographical boundaries and challenges established winemaking norms. Winemakers Tiago Macena and Raul Moreno Yague focus on experimental winemaking, pushing the limits of grape varieties and blending techniques. This innovative approach is evident in its flagship wine, "Slate 'N Chalk Tinto," a unique blend of Portuguese and Spanish grapes. Through this and other experimental wines, Sin Fronteiras aims to create a dialogue between different terroirs and winemaking traditions.

Vinhos Sin Fronteiras represents a dynamic and exciting chapter in the evolution of Portuguese wine, demonstrating a willingness to experiment and explore new frontiers of taste.
