Founded in 1999, the Quinta do
Morgado da Torre winery was the first to produce Algarve wines with
the seal of Controlled Designation of Origin (DOC).
The excellent Algarve wines produced
here are fruity and have good structure and aromas. The grapes are harvested by
hand and the best varieties selected, including: Arinto; Verdelho; Antão Vaz;
Sauvignon Blanc; Moscatel Galego and Síria (white varieties), Touriga Nacional,
Aragonez, Trincadeira, Castelão, Sousão, Alicante–Bouschet, Syrah,
Cabernet–Sauvignon and Merlot (red varieties).
The vines grow on gentle south-facing
slopes, where the mild influence of sea breezes is felt in the quality of the
grapes.
The resulting Algarve wines
clearly reveal their own distinctive personality and identity, characteristic
of the Portimão region.
Activities at Quinta do Morgado da
Torre: Guided tours of the winery followed by wine tasting (by
