This Private Wine Estate is located on the left bank of the Tagus river in the Almeirim - Potrtugal, and has been owned by the same family for more than two centuries. It has an area of 1100 ha of wich 140 are under vines.
The existing vineyards are predominantly out of Portuguese varieties such as the white " Fernão Pires". The red wines are produced basically out of "Trincadeira", "Castelão", "Touriga Nacional"; and more recently Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdoot, Alicante and Syrah. The vinification is carefully done at the old winery, wich is a building dating from the XVIII century, adapted to the new techniques, essential to respect and take the best out of the potential quality of the grapes. All this added to the long traditional of wine productin is nowadays reflected on the public regocnition of the wines produced here.
This is a privileged place to enjoy many experiences built around the wine. Our visit usually includes a meal with the family who still owns and manages the property, a guided tour to the wine cellar and of course wine tastings. For the ones who like horses this is the perfect place to admire the Stud of Pure Lusitano Horses.
