The history of Graco Wine’s name goes back over 2000 years and is a tribute to the Roman occupation of the Herdade Sousa da Sé. Tiberius Graco wrote, in 134 BC, the Lex Sempronia Agrarium, in an effort to improve land agricultural production. Herdade Sousa da Sé revives the farming tradition that the Romans brought to Alentejo, producing the Graco wine in Mediterranean granitic brown soil.
Herdade Sousa da Sé rests in the heart of Alentejo, 3.5 miles (6 km) from Évora, a privileged location for the production of wines. The heart of Alentejo begets high quality grapes for the creation of majestic wines.
In Herdade Sousa da Sé ancient activities were recovered by launching an Alentejo Regional Wine (Vinho Regional Alentejano), unmatched in the market: Red Graco, 2008 harvest; White Graco, 2009 harvest.
Évora is now one of the hot spots for gastronomy in Portugal, city of true food and wine lovers, red and white. Many people roam to Évora to try and enjoy its succulent dishes and quality wines.
Only in Évora could Graco happen, a wine conceived in a Mediterranean climate, with a slight mainland flavour.
