The Winemaker Experience at Quinta dos Vales
The Algarve wine-producing region is coming of age. Often overshadowed by the fine wines in northern Portugal, the quality of Algarve wines has improved in recent years with a steady increase in producers using new methodologies, and the wines are now winning international awards.
For wine lovers, the Algarve offers some new experiences - from learning to blend your own distinctive bottle of wine, tasting on historic scenic estates, enjoying a selection of the finest wines in traditional restaurants with extensive wine cellars, to even owning your own vineyard.
Algarve wines are made from traditional Portuguese white and red grapes, but one red grape in particular - the “Negra Mole” - is indigenous to Algarve and unique in the world. These traditional grapes are now being combined with known international varieties like Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon, creating some spectacular results.
