Vineyard of Carvalhal is one of the oldest, and its area is distributed among the Vinhão, Padeiro, and Azal grape varieties. In 1997, a section of the Padeiro variety, which was practically extinct at the time, was grafted here. . Unlike others, the name is easy to explain: the vineyard itself connects to the Carvalhal Forest, so named for the large number of oak trees. In this authentic repository of biodiversity, don’t be surprised to see squirrels, foxes, wild boars, or even a deer or two. The maintenance, cleaning, and conservation of this forested area are ways in which we express our commitment to environmental sustainability and the safeguarding of future generations.
