Local detail
Venâncio da Costa Lima, situated in the heart of the Setúbal Peninsula, is particularly famed for its Moscatel de Setúbal, a fortified wine with a rich aromatic profile. The estate's vineyards benefit from the unique microclimate influenced by the nearby Arrábida Natural Park, where the collision of maritime air and the limestone hills creates ideal conditions for grape cultivation. While Moscatel is a highlight, their red wines, often blends of Castelão, Aragonês, and Trincadeira grapes, also showcase the region's capacity for producing full-bodied and complex vintages.
The estate is located just outside Quinta do Anjo, a small village known for its traditional cheese, Azeitão cheese, and local pastries. Depending on your preferences, your driver can suggest a stop at a local artisan cheese shop or a traditional bakery in Quinta do Anjo to complement your wine tasting experience.
