About Semaphore 7
Semaphore 7 is made in the Alentejo region of Portugal. South of Evora, Vidigueira marks the dividing point of the Upper (Alto) and Lower (Baixo) Alentejo. The proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the cold air descending from the Serra de Portel allow for a longer ripening of the grapes and contributes to the reputation of the vineyards for its red indigenous blends. The soils are rich in limestone, schist and granite and the land is divided between vineyards, cork forests and areas used for the breeding and conservation of native species. Winemaker, José Piteira has been working in the region for more than 25 years. Born and raised in Alentejo, wine was always his passion.
