In Detail
Adega Mayor, inaugurated in 2007, is the focus of Nabeiro-Delta Cafés Group in the wine industry.
Set on a 350 hectares area of holm oaks, riparian corridors and agricultural land, the Winery enjoys all the advantages of the Mediterranean ecosystem and is an agricultural area with a strong tradition on vineyards and olive groves cultures.
Adega Mayor is an architectural reference worldwide that distinguishes and elevates the wine heritage of the region of Alentejo. It is a unique place in the Portuguese scene, designed by the architect Álvaro Siza Vieira, a tribute to the architecture of wine and life.
Its closeness to Serra de São Mamede, its granitic soils and the temperate climate contribute to the unique character of its wines. Wines with their own personality, fresh, balanced and elegant, they are the result of a manual and dedicated harvest.
The Portuguese grape varieties stand out the most; the reds Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira, Castelão, and the white, Antão Vaz, Arinto e Verdelho. Others grape varieties, such as Syrah, Alicante Bouschet and Petit, were selected to integrate the personality of the wines of Adega Mayor.
