The Grapes

Syrah Wine 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 Setubal 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.

Touriga Nacional Wine GrapesTouriga Nacional

Touriga Nacional is a very known and well-appreciated grape varietal, perhaps the most celebrated one in Portugal, having been disseminated to practically every region in the country.

Its thick skin, rich in natural tint, provides intense color to its wines.

The abundance of primary aromas is a characteristic of this grape variety, presenting both floral and fruity and always intense and penetrating. Touriga Nacional is the fourth most planted grape in the Setubal Peninsula.

It produces full bodied wines with powerful and exceptional aromatic qualities, providing a soft, warm flavor dominated by notes of ripe berries, such as blackberry and blueberry, with floral nuances that resemble violet, rosemary and cistus flower at times.

It produces harmonious wines with a strong alcohol level and excellent aging ability, gaining aromatic complexity when aged in barrel.

The Region

The Setubal Peninsula is a unique region, whose wines are as generous and balanced as the region that sees them born.

Mother Nature was magnanimous and refined: from with the two peninsulas, “drawn” by the two largest estuaries in Portugal, was born a region rich in biodiversity and fish and shellfish with both natural and protected areas.

The framing by the Atlantic Ocean and the Tagus and Sado River estuaries, combined with a deep Mediterranean influence and geological formation provide a unique set of characteristics for wine production.

The Setubal Peninsula also has one of the oldest denominations in Portugal - the region of Moscatel de Setubal, whose demarcation was begun in 1907 and completed and confirmed in 1908.

The Setubal DO (Denomination of Origin) region is geographically bounded by the municipalities of Setubal, Palmela, Montijo and the village of Castelo in the municipality of Sesimbra.

This "terroir", which is the cradle of the Moscatel de Setubal is unique: the joint annual rainfall of 550-750 milliliters and the 2,200 hours of sunshine poured over the sandy and clay – limestone soils is all seasoned with a handful of Atlantic breeze.
