Peninsula de Setubal Wines

Península de Setúbal wine is shaped by warm coastal weather, sandy and limestone soils and Atlantic winds that help Moscatel, Castelão and local varieties develop richness, freshness and aromatic depth. This creates expressive wines linked to Portugal’s southern coast.

Castelão dominates the reds, while Moscatel de Setúbal is the region’s signature fortified style. Arinto, Fernão Pires and Antão Vaz also thrive, offering a wide range of Portuguese expressions.

Moscatel de Setúbal is a historic fortified wine made from Muscat of Alexandria, known for its intense aromatics, citrus peel notes and long ageing potential. It has helped define the region’s global reputation.

Moscatel de Setúbal ages exceptionally well, developing complexity and depth over decades. Structured Castelão and some whites can also mature gracefully.

Castelão pairs well with grilled meats, stews and hearty Portuguese dishes, while fresh whites suit seafood.
