Set at the foot of the Serra de Grândola, this 45-hectare estate receives a maritime influence from the Alentejo coast that produces a distinct microclimate across its vineyards, olive and orange groves, cork and holm oaks. The property—marked by an emblematic castle-shaped house on the IC1—unfolds between riverbank and roadside and rewards visitors with wide views over village, mountains and plain. The visit is a guided, commented and documented tour of the vineyards and winery, followed by a tasting of sparkling wines paired with products produced on the estate.
