Terras do Demo Malvasia Fina Bruto White
The Espumante Demas Lands Malvasia fino is the result of our passion for quality sparkling wines. With an improved production method we were able to create an award winning sparkling wine with a recognized quality.

The maturation and aging of this sparkling wine takes place according to a slow evolution, with roundness of fruity peaks after 12 months. Complex aromas occur in the later stage of aging. The Malvasia Fina Demas Lands Sparkling is ideal for accompanying seafood, oysters, fish, poultry and white meats. Contain sulfites.
Casa da Passarella Abanico Reserva Red
Classic blend wine from Dão, the Abanico Reserva is born from different vineyards of Casa da Passarella. The grapes that serve as base are the Touriga Nacional, the Alfrocheiro and the Jaen, and respecting the balance of the different plots chosen, we harvest the grapes manually for boxes of 12 kg. The fermentation takes place in traditional cement tanks and pre-fermentation and post-fermentation is done, the stage is partially made in new French oak barrels for a year, and the whole process of stabilization for bottling is done in a natural way - we do not subject this wine to any type of filtration.
Contains Sulfites.

Recommendations from our online shop
Chão dos Eremitas Castelão Red
A 100% Castelão, a disconcerting wine, which demonstrates the role of this variety in the ancient Alentejo strains. Freshness and purity. The grapes are selected on a sorting table, 30% whole bunch and 70% destemmed, falling by gravity into the vat. Spontaneous fermentation, 35-day aging and 18-month barrel aging. Fragile ruby garnet color. Very fine aroma, with hints of plum, tobacco and spices, on the palate the attack is medium bodied with good freshness. The texture mounts in the middle of the tasting, all in elegance, it ends with present and firm tannins.
Chão dos Eremitas Moreto Red
100% Moreto. Moreto is a grape variety from the old Alentejo strain, sister to Castelão and daughter of the crossing of Sarigo x Alfrocheiro Preto grapes. The grapes, on granitic soils and in a certified integrated production system, are selected on a sorting table, 30% whole bunch and 70% destemmed, falling by gravity into the vat. Spontaneous fermentation and 40-day maceration in skins, followed by an 18-month aging in old barrels. Intense ruby color, medium concentration, almost ripe black fruit, with forest notes, full attack, concentrated with good freshness and persistent structure at the end of the tasting.
Chão dos Eremitas Os Paulistas Red
The Paulistas, name given to the Hermits of the order of São Paulo who made their wine in this place for so long, that this date was lost in the memories. However, the Papal Bull of 1397 exempted “Os Paulistas” from taxes on their vineyards, demonstrating the importance of this location. The place is special and receives two streams that bring water from Serra D’Ossa and keep the water nearby and the soil fresh, with no need for watering for the good development of the grapes. The grapes, also from another time, planted in 1970, Tinta Carvalha, Moreto, Castelão, Alfrocheiro and Trincadeira, demonstrate that there was another Alentejo, without irrigation and without improving varieties. An Alentejo worth recovering, this is our tribute to the Paulistas. Nocturnal manual harvest, selected on a sorting table, 30% whole bunch and 70% destemmed, falling by gravity into the vat. Spontaneous fermentation and maceration between 25 and 40 days, followed by an 18-month aging in French oak barrels with more than three years. Ruby color with some violet touches, medium concentration. On the nose, lots of red forest fruit, some undergrowth. Fresh attack, good fruit with hints of pomegranate. Very thin, long and with structure.
Gran Patrón Burdeos
Gran Patron Burdeos Anejo tequila is distilled from the finest blue Agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Tequila is matured in a mix of American and French oak barrels and aged for a minimum of 12 months. It is then re-distilled before being placed in vintage Bordeaux casks, hand-selected from France's great chateaux to add the distinctive flavors of vanilla, raisins and dried fruit found in the finest Bordeaux wine.
Maçanita Da Pedra Se Fez Extra Brut nº2 White
Selective manual harvest in 20Kg baskets, whole bunch pressing, transfer after 12 hours to horizontal fermentation vats of 600-1000L. First spontaneous fermentation. Internship for 36 months sur latte. Straw yellow citrine color, with notes of grapefruit, some linden, almost honey. Sea scent. Tense attack, fresh with fine bubbles and a lot of salinity.
Palpite Reserve White
White produced from traditional Alentejo grape varieties: Arinto, Alicante White and old blended vines, with minimal intervention, without the addition of sulfur dioxide until the end of fermentation and spontaneous fermentation in barrels and long aging on lees. Citrine straw yellow color. Intense, complex aroma, which combines notes of grapefruit, orange peel, with some fresh cream. On the palate textured attack, with present freshness, retro rich, intense. Persistent finish.
Quinta da Fonte Souto Alfrocheiro Red
The grapes are harvested into small boxes and received in the property's cellar. Manual sorting is followed by destemming and gentle crushing, after which the grapes are transferred to fermentation vessels using a peristaltic pump. Fermentations are followed individually and temperatures and maceration movements are adjusted in order to maximize the potential of the grapes. A period of post-fermentation maceration is carried out to promote the extraction of tannins from the seeds — complementary to the tannins from the skins — in order to favor the structure and accentuate the aging potential. Very deep color, with hints of crimson on the edge. The fresh and mineral aromas denote the altitude and the shale and granite soils of Fonte Souto. A graphite note reflects minerality and hints at forest vegetation. Some fruits are discretely present, blueberry initially and, as the wine opens, some distinct strawberry notes. Very reserved on the palate, starting to show black plum, dark chocolate, and a licorice nuance. Peppery tannins and a bright acidity support a substantial structure, which needs some more time in the bottle for the wine to fully reveal its unique character.
Rosé dos Villões Tinta Negra
The grapes were harvested manually, transported in 35 kg boxes and selected on a sorting table. Destemming without crushing followed by pressing. Decantation after 24 hours, and fermentation in stainless steel between 14-16ºC. Stage on lees for 6 months. Open ruby-pink color. Intense nose, notes of crushed fresh strawberry, some vegetable. Fresh, crunchy attack, present acidity, with excellent salinity. Great persistence.
Sabor(z)inho by António Maçanita Red
Saborinho, also known as Tinta Negra or Molar de Colares, is one of the traditional red varieties from the Azores islands that almost disappeared from the vineyards. Sabor(Z)inho has a good texture, elegance and good acidity. A fresh, open-coloured, iodized, saline, complex red with the flavor of something that could only have been born in the sea.
Saké Akashi Ginjo Yuzushu
This sake has an exceptionally high amount of fresh Hyogo yuzu, which is pressed upon arrival to preserve the clear aroma of the rare citrus fruit highly prized in Japan. It gives a touch of originality to the most exquisite cocktails and can be drunk neat or with ice as an aperitif or after dinner.
