Monte da Casteleja

- Guillaume inherited the land, long since abandoned, from his Portuguese grandfather and began revitalising the property with the intention of making his own organic wines. He planted the first grapes in 2000 and in 2004 Monte da Casteleja produced its first wine. - Since its inception in 1998 we have harvested the “old-fashioned way” with the manual labour of selection and cutting of the grapes, transport to the winery in boxes of 15 kg, followed by the treading of the best grapes at the end of day, as is still done in the best vineyards of the Douro. - The area of vines in the Algarve is around 3000 hectares and cooperatives and independent growers transform the grapes. The region is made up of 4 main wine producing areas: – Lagos, Portimão, Lagoa and Tavira. - Offers Red, Rose, and White Wine.
