In the charming village of Cabeção, just a few kilometres from Mora, in the Alentejo region, you will discover the Encosta do Pinhal estate, nestled against a magnificent pine forest.

 

The Alentejo, Portugal’s largest region, is made up of endless stretches of farmland and hills covered with cork oaks, almond trees and olive trees. Here, the Mediterranean climate is hot and dry, with a strong continental influence. The sandy soils, sometimes interspersed with slightly clay-rich areas or gravel at greater depths, encourage the vines to develop deep root systems.

 

Since Roman times, the Alentejo has been a privileged setting for a region rich in tradition, where high-quality wines are produced, as distinctive and varied as its landscapes and gastronomy.

 

In addition to the increasingly popular Vinho Alentejano, the Alentejo offers wines under different designations: DOC, IGP and Vinho de Talha.
