About

Our Producer Our producer chose Estremoz to make his own wines, after a long career as consultant winemaker in the main wine-growing regions of Portugal.

The first harvest dates from 1992 and in the following years the wine was produced in rented buildings. In 1997 vinification took place in the new estate for the first time

After, the construction of the winery in Estremoz began in that year. At the winery Vila Santa, the modern is harmoniously combined with the best Portuguese wine-growing tradition, and part of the grapes for more sophisticated wines are still foot trodden.

Creating a wine is an art that we have been perfecting for centuries, and now we want to show and share this art with you.

A unique wine experience where you create your own wine and become a winemaker for a day. Learn more about different grape varieties and make your own blend.
