The property of Quinta da Murta, located in the hills of the small demarcated region of Bucelas, is surrounded by one of the main Roman roads that crossed Portugal and very close to the last fortification, Anglo-Portuguese against Napoleon's troops. In Shakespeare's time, Bucelas became popular in England, especially in court. Designated "Charneco", due to the name that is given to the zone of Bucelas, is mentioned by Shakespeare in the second part of the piece Henry VI, published in 1594. The sailors of the caravel S. Gabriel celebrated with wine of Bucelas their return to Portugal, after the discovery of the maritime route to India
<p></p><p>It all started in 1987 when Alice and Paulo were looking for a property that would be their family's Project and where they could make high quality wine.<br />At Quinta da Chocapalha, all elements of the family have a role in creating the spirit of the project</p>
<p>In the glass, Monte da Peceguina Red Wine shows a deep ruby color with purple reflections. The nose reveals ripe red fruits, wild berries, and subtle floral notes, while the palate is smooth and elegant, with silky tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, persistent finish. Versatile at the table, it pairs beautifully with roasted meats, game dishes, and aged cheeses, and has good ageing potential of 5 to 7 years.</p> <p></p> <p></p>
<p></p><p>Quinta do Outeiro, with a 13-hectare plantation located southeast of Silves, a town with extensive wine references, is influenced by the proximity to the sea, sun exposure and microclimates that, in coexistence with clay and limestone soils, contribute to the formation of a "terroir" Special</p>
<p></p><p>A 23-year-old winemaker and an English winemaker could only go wrong. "Portuguese winemaker António Maçanita and English consultant and winemaker David Booth met in early 2004. Over the next few months, Antonio was already learning viticulture with David and a great friendship developed. The next step would be to make wine. First wine, first success, with the Alentejo Trophy at the International Wine Challenge, awarded for the second time in 22 years of competition</p>
<p></p><p>Quinta do Monte D'Oiro Reserva White Wine presents a delicate nose, with notes of white flowers, discreet fruit and sea air. The mouth is deep and broad, with good acidity and saline finish. Well integrated barrels, with structure, volume and enormous elegance.</p>
<p></p><p>Lisboa Valley Red wine presents a ruby red colour. The nose reveals intense notes of raspberry, cassis, violet and pepper. In the mouth it is young, full of ripe red fruits supported by fine tannins and a crisp, refreshing acidity.</p>
<p></p><p>Wine appears in the Ramilo family by the hand of the great-grandfather, Manuel Francisco Ramilo, who, in the early twentieth century, devoted much of its land area to wine production. Four generations later, unwilling to accept the abandonment of local traditions, brothers Pedro and Nuno Ramilo left their confortable lives to embrace a family business.The brothers are now on the verge of becoming the largest private producer of the world famous Ramisco from Colares</p>
<p></p><p>Made from Malvasia, has abundant mineral notes in the aroma and dry vegetation, all of it fine, discreet and away from fads. The acid balance is good, is smooth in the mouth and allows a nice race at this time. The set is correct but something undefined.</p>
<p></p><p>Situated in Alenquer, in the heart of Lisbon's Wine Region, Quinta do Anjo extends over more than 120 hectares, surrounding a seventeenth-century site adjacent to a traditional moth cellar.<br />Producing recognized wine of superior quality, and that is the maximum exponent of the region, is the motivation of the Cardoso Family Pinto in this project</p>
