Nestled south of Lisbon and bordering the Tejo wine region, the Setúbal Peninsula wine region beckons with its exquisite charm. Across the Tagus estuary, the region offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and exceptional wines, courtesy of its warm maritime climate. A sojourn through Setúbal Peninsula promises not only the pleasure of exploring vineyards but also indulging in Portugal's finest fortified wines. The region's renowned gastronomy adds the perfect flavor to this enchanting experience.

Internationally acclaimed, Peninsula de Setúbal wines stand out for their remarkable qualities, with the iconic Moscatel de Setúbal leading the way. This sublime wine is a must-try, a testament to the region's winemaking prowess and commitment to excellence.

Setúbal Peninsula comprises two distinct subregions: Setúbal and Palmela. While flat lands with sandy soils dominate Setúbal, the Arrábida Mountain Range boasts clay limestone soils at higher elevations. Setúbal wines, including the renowned Moscatel, undergo meticulous aging in oak barrels, imparting distinct characteristics, from burnt orange hues to spiced aromas reminiscent of a festive Christmas cake.

Setúbal Whites: A Palette of Refreshing Elegance

Setúbal whites, shaped by the region's proximity to the sea and unique Atlantic profile, offer a personalized and vibrant experience. These wines boast slow maturation, excellent acidity, and preserved grape aromas. These whites exude citrus and mineral notes, presenting a modern and fresh profile that has captured international fascination.

Setúbal Reds: The Artistry of Castelão Grape

The DOC Palmela within Setúbal Peninsula is celebrated for its red wines, crafted with the late-ripening Castelão grape. Flourishing in Palmela's sandy and hot soils, this grape imparts complexity and depth, creating red wines that are a true testament to the region's winemaking finesse and quality.
