Península De Setúbal

About this region

Let’s just say the Península de Setúbal is a region with a seriously impressive pedigree – established back in 1907, it’s Portugal’s second oldest demarcated wine region. Imagine a landscape sculpted by the Atlantic, the Tejo and Sado rivers, blending dramatic Serra da Arrábida mountains with expansive plains. This creates the perfect conditions for producing wines with a distinctive character, particularly celebrated for its Moscatel de Setúbal. Crafted from the globally-renowned Moscatel de Alexandria, these sweet, aromatic wines are bursting with notes of crystallized orange and delicate floral aromas – a truly decadent experience. And if you’re looking for something a bit more robust, the Castelão vines thriving on the warm, sandy soils of Palmela are delivering complex, elegant reds. The CVRPS, with its DOC and IG designations, ensures you’re getting a genuine taste of this incredible coastal wine region.
