The Grapes

Syrah GrapesSyrah

Though Syrah is a well-known French grape varietal from the Côtes du Rhône region, it has successfully been diffused to other regions of France and worldwide

In the Setúbal Peninsula, it occupies approximately 300 hectares of vineyards.

The wines from this grape have a rich aroma, a consequence of the different terroirs, climates and winemaker knowledge.

In the Setubal Peninsula region it has found a privileged terroir and climate, for even with the different knowledge of local winemakers, it has produced wines of exceptional quality that have won medals both nationally and internationally.

If there was any doubt in this regard, it was dispelled at the 2008 Vinailes Internacionales competition in France, where a Syrah wine from the Setubal Peninsula competed in a blind tasting of red wines from 36 countries and won the Trophée Vinailes for the best red wine.
