Casa Cadaval
Rua Vasco da Gama 2125 - 317 Muge
Located 80km northeast from Lisbon, north of the Tejo River, Casa Cadaval has belonged to the Álvares Pereira de Melo (Cadaval) family since 1648. Comprised of a sprawling 5,400 hectares, the estate, mainly occupied by cork trees and forests, is not only known for its wines but for also being one of the oldest breeders of Lusitano horses in the world. The 45 hectares of vineyards, located in the terroir known as charneca, are cultivated with mainly native Portuguese varietials such as Trincadeira, Touriga Nacional, Aragonês, Arinto, Fernão Pires, which are vinified to produce wines according to the family’s vision of producing the highest quality expression of the Tejo region’s terroir.
