José Maria Da Fonseca

Owned and managed by the same family for nearly 200 years, José Maria da Fonseca is one of Portugal’s oldest producers of table wines and Setúbal Moscatel. Combining centuries of experience with state-of-the-art winemaking technology, the winery blends tradition with innovation. Above all, it is the passion and commitment to the art of winemaking that truly define José Maria da Fonseca’s exceptional wines.

Peninsula de Setubal

The Peninsula de Setúbal, located southwest of Lisbon along Portugal’s Atlantic coast, is renowned for its distinctive and high-quality wines. It benefits from a Mediterranean climate with cooling maritime influences, which contribute to its unique terroir.
The area is particularly famous for its fortified wines, especially Muscat of Setúbal, made from the Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains grape. This wine is known for its rich, honeyed sweetness, complex aromas of dried fruits and nuts, and a smooth, luscious texture. It also produces notable reds from varieties like Castelão and Trincadeira, offering full-bodied wines with rich fruit flavours and balanced tannins.
