Quinta de Chocapalha

Three generations come together today in the field and cellar work, in a project that values what is genuine, respects tradition, our culture, and identity, while embracing modernity. Chocapalha’s wines reflect the passion for the unique terroir of the Quinta, whose natural freshness comes from the morning dew, called “Invisible Rain,” and the meticulous work carried out in the field and cellar. This combination results in fresh, balanced, and elegant wines with excellent aging potential.

The Castelão Quinta de Chocapalha comes from 31-year-old vines planted in clay-limestone soils. The grapes, previously destemmed, underwent pre-fermentation maceration at low temperatures for 12 hours. Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, with temperature control not exceeding 25°C, for 10 days. The wine aged 50%, for 15 months, in French oak barrels of second and third use.

Quinta de Chocapalha

Chocapalha is almost like a person, we have a very close and intense relationship. It all started in 1987 when Alice and Paulo were looking for a property that would become their Family Project and where they could make great quality wine. At Quinta da Chocapalha, every member of the family is part of creating the spirit of this project. Alice and Paulo Tavares da Silva found the estate to carry out their family dream. There was so much to be done, but they quickly took on the necessary work to make Quinta da Chocapalha what it is today.
