Algarve

The Algarve region in southern Portugal, famed for its sun-soaked beaches, also boasts a vibrant winemaking tradition. Its warm climate and diverse soils—ranging from sandy to clay-limestone—support native grape varieties like Negra Mole and Castelão. These conditions yield robust red wines with rich flavors and a unique coastal influence.

Algarve’s history of viticulture dates back to ancient times, with a legacy shaped by Phoenician, Roman, and Moorish cultures. Today, modern wineries are embracing sustainable practices to enhance the region’s natural beauty while producing distinctive, high-quality wines that reflect its heritage.
