Destination

The Alentejo region - the largest province in Portugal - still exudes traditional Portuguese charm and showcases its Moorish heritage, evident in its architecture. The climate is subject to a unique combination of Continental and Mediterranean influences: little precipitation and very warm weather from spring till grape harvest in autumn – ideal conditions for the cultivation of premium quality wines.
