Vineyard Information

Quinta da Alorna has a long and illustrious history stretching back to the 18th century. Sitting majestically in the Tejo region, Quinta da Alorna has a wide array of vineyards which are worked in a sustainable and socially responsible way, looking after both the land and the workers. Portugal's trump card is its wide array of toothsome indigenous varieties and they are put to good work here. Aromatic Fernao Pires, tight, minerally Arinto and the Portuguese iteration of Tempranillo, Tinto Roriz, are amongst the bevy of blindingly tasty components that they have to work with and the result is an accomplished range of distinctly Portuguese wines.

The 220 Hectares of vines are dedicated to the production of both native and international varieties, including Arinto, Fernão Pires, Chardonnay, Moscatel, Verdelho, Alvarinho and Sauvignon Blanc for the whites and Touriga Nacional, Castelão, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tinta Roriz, Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet and Syrah for the red wines. Soils are sandy loam or sandy clay and pruned Double Cordon de Royat. Harvesting is done by hand and pests and disease control is carried out using the rules of integrated viticulture.
