Located in the Portuguese region of Alentejo, Quinta de Dona Maria is renowned for its 18th-century Palace, which is not only a historic landmark but has also been linked to wine production for over 150 years.
In 1988, through the new owner Júlio Bastos, the wines produced at this Quinta began to be sold nationally and internationally, gaining recognition from the general public and wine critics.
Although the old winery has been restored, expanded and modernized, the 19th century marble presses, which are the mainstays of the vinification of these quality wines, still remain.
The wine has a dark ruby color. It has a rich aroma of wild berries, associated with mint and spices. The flavor is intense and round, with silky tannins and a persistent finish.
