OUR WINES
Lying in 60 hectares of land, 32 hectares of which are vineyards, the Tapada do Chaves estate is located in a region heavily influenced by the nearby mountain range (Serra de São Mamede) and surrounding forestry and agriculture which endow it with a specific microclimate that plays a crucial role in the quality and typical character of the wines produced.
THE TASTE OF QUALITY
The history of Tapada do Chaves dates back to the early 20th century when the Chaves family planted the first vineyards on its small estate on the slopes of Serra de São Mamede. The story of passionate dedication to the land had begun.
