O Produtor, tasting note published in June 14th 2023
The Arinto grape variety reveals itself right away, with pronounced notes of orange blossom, ripe orange, and lemon, accompanied by hints of flint and subtle smokiness, all refined by bottle aging. On the palate, citrus flavors dominate, with hints of orange peel that bring freshness and persistence.
The Superior Branco stands out for its citrus notes of lime and lemon. Its freshness shines, making it a perfect match for a refined dish of cod with broa or Alentejo-style pork.

Quinta do Paral
The Quinta do Paral project was revitalized in August 2017, when businessman Dieter Morszeck, former president and grandson of the founder of the luxury luggage brand Rimowa, acquired 85 hectares of land in Alentejo. Wine has always been one of the entrepreneur’s passions and his dream is to build a family business, create wines on the estate and luxury tourism. With the acquisition of the estate by this new administration, it was redesigned in collaboration with winemaker Luís Morgado Leão. The focus of the quinta is sustainability combined with great respect for Alentejo culture and tradition. Besides creating excellent wines, a charm hotel is also under construction at Quinta do Paral with around 18 rooms, so that wine lovers can discover the unique wines of QUINTA DO PARAL in an environment of beauty.
