Tejo (Alpiarça) · Portugal
Single Estate Wines
from Portugal
Thirty hectares. Eight generations. One single estate. What makes Pinhal da Torre one of the Tejo's few truly single-estate wineries.
What does “Single Estate” actually mean?
A single-estate wine is vinified exclusively from grapes grown on one property controlled by the producer. In Portugal, where most production relies on cooperatives or third-party fruit, this model is rare. In Tejo (Alpiarça), even more so.
Pinhal da Torre is one of these rare houses: 30 continuous hectares in Alpiarça, vinification in the historic 1947 cellar metres from the vines, bottling at origin. From vine to bottle, with no middlemen.
The pillars of our estate
A single origin
100% of grapes come from our 30 hectares in Alpiarça, Tejo. No bought-in fruit, no blended origins. Every bottle is the reading of one place.
Native & Atlantic varietals
Touriga Nacional, Alicante Bouschet, Baga, Grenache, Arinto, Verdelho, Alvarinho. Varietals that map the geography between the Atlantic and the Tejo.
Historic vinification
1947 Algerian concrete vats — the only ones still in use in Portugal — for thermal precision and mineral breathing. No stainless steel forcing the profile.
Real sustainability
100% sustainable, -40% water consumption, 17 species under active conservation. Braille-embossed labels since 2003.
Why Tejo (Alpiarça)?
We sit 56.53 km from the Atlantic — close enough for the ocean breeze to reach the vines, far enough for continental heat to ripen them properly. This tension between Atlantic freshness and Mediterranean structure defines our style: wines with nerve, balance and ageing potential.
Tejo (Alpiarça) is today one of Portugal's most undervalued regions — which, for us, here for eight generations, is an opportunity. We invest in native varietals, heritage winemaking and certified sustainable viticulture.
