Quinta de Chocapalha Vinha Mãe

Three generations come together today in the work of the fields and the cellar. A project where what is genuine is valued, tradition, our culture, and identity are respected, while embracing modernity. The wines of Chocapalha reflect our passion for the unique terroir of the Quinta and the careful work we carry out in the field and cellar. This combination results in fresh, balanced, and elegant wines with excellent aging potential.

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.
