Quinta de Camarate

Quinta de Camarate, a flagship brand of José Maria da Fonseca, is also the name of one of the estates of the Soares Franco Family, located in the Setúbal Peninsula.

Located in Azeitão, near Setúbal, Quinta de Camarate was acquired by António Soares Franco Jr. in 1914 and is now owned by Domingos Soares Franco, one of the shareholders of José Maria da Fonseca. This estate spans an area of 120 hectares, with 39 hectares dedicated to vineyards. The remaining land is used as pasture for the sheep that produce the famous Azeitão cheese. The vineyards are planted in clay-limestone and sandy soils near the Serra da Arrábida.

Winemaking involves open vat fermentation at 16°C. No aging is applied. Best consumed when young.

José Maria da Fonseca

A family business with almost two centuries of history, and one that has known how to stay up-to-date without ever sitting back on its laurels. José Maria da Fonseca has been making wines since 1834, resulting from the shared passion of a family that has known how to preserve and project the memory and the prestige of its founder. Well aware of the responsibility of being the oldest producer of table wine and Setúbal Moscatel in Portugal, José Maria da Fonseca follows a philosophy of permanent development, constantly investing in research and production, combining the latest techniques with traditional know-how. An example of this is the José de Sousa Rosado Fernandes Winery, at Reguengos de Monsaraz, Alentejo, where the Roman tradition of clay pot fermentation is maintained alongside the latest technology.

Continuing to invest in benchmark products at international level, always produced to the highest standard, José Maria da Fonseca has contributed decisively to the promotion and prestige of national wines. The nearly 650 hectares of vineyards and a winery equipped with the latest technology, which competes with the best in the world, produce wines that combine the experience gathered throughout its history with the most advanced winemaking techniques.

In addition to all these resources, what most characterizes the work at José Maria da Fonseca is a great passion for the art of winemaking. It is this passion capable of generating emotions that José Maria da Fonseca shares with consumers every time they try one of the company’s wines.
