WE ARE ROOTED in the spirit of our Ancestors

The audacious and passionate spirit of António Florêncio , knowledgeable and passionate about Aguardente de Medronho, who founded his distillery at the age of 22 (1942). He established a new paradigm in Medronho, “he was way ahead of his time” say some.

His entrepreneurial spirit and mastery in distillation led him to be the most renowned producer in the region. At a time when the geographic mobility of goods and services was reduced, he took the secret of Aguardente de Medronho da Serra far beyond the parish of Santa-Clara-a-Velha.

A unique terroir !

The unique terroir of Santa Clara-a-Velha, in the south of Alentejo, is the birthplace of our Medronho brandy.

Located in a mountainous area with steep slopes and shale soils, this region offers a climate with high thermal variations. Dry summers with cool nights, cold winters with low precipitation and a high number of hours of sunshine.

It is this special terroir that gives our strawberry trees the opportunity to produce high quality, exceptionally sweet and aromatic fruits.
