Casal da Coelheira is a family owned estate alongside the great Tagus River (Rio Tejo in Portuguese), just one hour from Lisbon.  

The estate has been family-operated for generations, with a strong female presence in viticulture and winemaking, ensuring a continued legacy of quality.Nuno and Margarida Falcao Rodrigues are the owners of Casal da Coelheira, a winery in Alentejo, Portugal. Nuno is the winemaker and Margarida is the viticulturist. 

The 64 hectares of vineyards benefit from  the Mediterranean climate and the sandy  soils which stress the vines. A small pine tree forest inside the farm provides  a home to a wide range of animals. The most  abundant, the rabbit (coelho in Portuguese),  gave his name to the Estate - “Casal da Coelheira,” roughly translated “little farm where the  rabbits are born.”
