The warm and moderate Mediterranean climate in the Setúbal Peninsula region is shaped by the proximity of the sea. Through this geographical feature and through the love of wine and the high-quality raw materials, products of unique quality are created every year. The project of JOSÉ ABREU LOPES DA MOTA CAPITÃO focuses on a philosophy of high-quality wines in limited quantities and exclusive production. Integrated pest management without human intervention ensures that the wine can express its full potential, and a series of traditional winemaking methods, such as the fermentation of the grapes in French oak barrels, give the wines their unique character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the beginning, the \"Herdade do Portocarro\" winery produced unique wines that immediately positioned themselves at the highest level of national production, including \"Herdade do Portocarro\", \"Tears of Anima\" and \"Cavalo Maluco\".
