The Grapes
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most international of all
French grape varieties, being widely grown across all five continents.
It has found a special niche and style in the Peninsula
de Setubal, one of the few Portuguese winegrowing regions where it can ripen to
perfection.
Cabernet Sauvignon is one of those varieties that can be
termed "enriching"; deeply colored and thick-skinned, it can spice up
blends, imbuing body and consistency to well-composed, perfumed, fruity and
spicy wines.
Appreciated for its versatility, resistance and
correctness it yields wines of immense longevity that age with elegance and
security.
The Region
The Setubal Peninsula is a unique region, whose wines are
as generous and balanced as the region that sees them born. Mother Nature was
magnanimous and refined: from with the two peninsulas, “drawn” by the two
largest estuaries in Portugal, was born a region rich in biodiversity and fish
and shellfish with both natural and protected areas.
The framing by the Atlantic Ocean and the Tagus and Sado
River estuaries, combined with a deep Mediterranean influence and geological
formation provide a unique set of characteristics for wine production.
The Setubal Peninsula also has one of the oldest
denominations in Portugal - the region of Moscatel de Setubal, whose
demarcation was begun in 1907 and completed and confirmed in 1908.
The Setubal DO (Denomination of Origin) region is
geographically bounded by the municipalities of Setubal, Palmela, Montijo and
the village of Castelo in the municipality of Sesimbra.
