Wine and Art Combined:
The wine is very highly acclaimed and the white wine has won the silver medal award for the best white wine in the Algarve. This is an exciting achievement and just goes to show how much quality means to this Quinta. The rosé has also been very well received and has sold extremely well. The red is also very popular and just as the other two, has received very high acclaim by many connoisseurs. A champagne is to follow in early spring 2009 and promises to be amongst the best champagnes on the market. The key here is to work hard on perfecting the wine production as quality is definitely always better than quantity.
Throughout the vineyard you will find various sculptures. These have been placed in various spots within the Quinta as well as in some dedicated areas. These sculptures are creations of Mr Karl Heinz Stock and are a fantastic talking point. They each offer something different to talk about and are part of the unique character and aura of the Quinta.
Fruits:
Fruits: The year starts with the harvest of oranges and lemons which normally lasts until March. These trees blossom and produce fruit at the same time and the fabulous scent fills the air for much of the early part of the year. February until the end of spring is the best time to enjoy the flowering of the almond trees.
In some areas of the Algarve its white and pink blossom shines like snow. In May the first figs are becoming delicious and plums and apricots can be enjoyed from June to September. You are welcome to pick some of these fruits for yourselves. If you would like to take some of them home what better than our delicious marmalade or chutney? See what we have available in our small farm shop.
Grape picking is carried out by hand and normally starting in the middle of August and lasting for 3-4 weeks. At selected times we allow our house guests to participate in the harvesting and to view the entire winemaking process.
