The Palmela appellation (DOC), located in the Setúbal region of Portugal, is a hidden gem for wine enthusiasts. Known for its robust red wines and aromatic whites, this area benefits from a Mediterranean climate with maritime influences that promote optimal grape ripening. The main grape varieties include Castelão, which yields red wines with aromas of black fruits and spices, and Fernão Pires, noted for its fresh and floral whites.

The diverse soils, composed of sand, clay, and limestone, add a unique complexity to Palmela wines. Local producers combine traditional and modern techniques to craft high-quality wines, often recognised with international awards.
