History
Castro is a fortified settlement from the Roman and pre-Roman periods on the Iberian Peninsula. The occupation of Castro de Chibanes dates back to the Copper and Early Bronze Ages. Perched atop Serra do Louro in Palmela, within the Arrábida Natural Park, it offers sweeping views over the Tagus and Sado estuaries and the Barris Valley. The site’s natural defensive conditions were enhanced by fortifications built during prehistoric times, later evolving into a complex structure with walls, towers, and bastions during the Iron Age II and III. The Castro de Chibanes wine emerges from the desire to share and celebrate the rich archaeological heritage of the region.

A white wine with a medium-intense citrus hue. On the nose, it is exuberant and elegant, with rich aromas that carry onto the palate. Displays floral intensity, exotic fruit, green apple, and distinctive mineral notes with a touch of salinity, characteristic of our coastal terroir. Structured and voluminous, offering vibrant freshness and a long, persistent finish.
