In 1936 the Bacalhoa Palace was bought and restored by Orlena Scoville. She passionately planted vines and made some incredible wines. Due to the micro-climate and soil within the Peninsula de Setubal region, the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes have adapted wonderfully.
The first wines were produced in 1976 and as these same vines have aged the quality of the wines has been improving year on year. Attaining 94 points on Wine Enthusiast for the Bacalhoa Cabernet Sauvignon in 2017.
