This gave the opportunity for small production winery’s to distribute their wine throughout the Algarve. Due to this Wine Castle hosts a vast portfolio with unique wines that are all exclusive to Wine Castle distribution within the Algarve.
The Majority of the hand-picked selection of wine producers has been dedicated to national flavors and production however, in recent years there has been a few international references added to the portfolio, France, Argentina, and Germany.
Portugal and its archipelagos hold a variety of excellent factor for producing quality wine, due to its many different terrains it provides a plethora of diversity within its regions, creating over 304 different kinds of grapes. Dão and Douro are within some of the favorites out of the 14 wine-making regions. However, wines with the same casts from the same year can taste very different depending on how the grape has been grown, to the journey it undertakes until finally being bottled. The Portuguese winemakers excel themselves when it comes to creating individual production processes.
One has the idea of placing the wine underneath the sea after it has been bottled, another chooses to label and cork their wine by hand. The objective between all of these wine makers seems to be the same. To use the least amount of chemicals in their wine and on their grapes to not alter the natural flavors. Although this is not always possible due to Mother Nature it is always kept in mind.
