Monte da Ravasqueira

Located in the village of Arraiolos, one hour from Lisbson, Monte da Ravasqueira has maintained a three-generation link to the José de Mello family since 1943.

The vast area of typical Alentejo landscape and the unique geological and climactic conditions found here led José Manuel de Mello to believe that Monte da Ravasqueira had everything to be a producer of high quality wines.

The dream began to take shape in 1998 when, after a series of geological studies to choose the best grape varieties and the best spots, an old orchard gave rise to the first vineyards.

Today, Monte da Ravasqueira extends over approximately 3,000 hectares, a total of 15 different grape varieites distributed over 29 plots, planted in 8 distinct types of soil, which allow for the production of the region's best wines.
