Wines on Arrábida Mountain

The DOC is named after the port town of Setúbal, which lies on the northern shores of the Sado estuary just south of Lisbon. The geographical area now covered by the title was originally demarcated for Moscatel de Setúbal wines as far back as 1905. The wines from Setúbal reveal a good acidity and freshness, with an extensive aromatic complexity. The famous Moscatel de Setúbal is produced in this region.

You will get to see and feel:

Visit 2 wineries where you will taste the regular and the fortified wines. You will get to know Castelão the main red variety from the region. The wines of Castelão are structured, with fruity flavors, suggesting cherry, currant, acorn, chestnut, candied plum, blackberry, and raspberry aromas, which harmonize well with the stage in oak barrels. As a general rule, they have excellent aging potential.

The Moscat is has a category of its own: Muscat of Setúbal is a fortified wine of excellent quality, especially when aged for several years in oak barrels. It is a wine with an intense aroma of orange blossoms, honeyed and full-flavored, which evolves with age for notes of dried fruits, raisins, and coffee.

On your way back to Lisbon we will pass on a beautiful fortress that used to protect Lisbon from the South for the last farewell.
