Adega Castelo Rodrigo Crl Castelo Rodrigo Wines

With the majestic Serra da Marofa as an astonishing and breathtaking background, between the valleys of the  rivers  Côa  and Águeda, which  flow  into  the International and neighbouring Douro River, we find the beautiful and picturesque village of Figueira de Castelo  Rodrigo.  It  has  been  recognized  as  a  wine tradition village where high quality wines have been being produced for many years now. It was during the 12th century that the Cistercian monks, who inhabited the nearby convent of Santa Maria de Aguiar, started the cultivation of vineyards and placed all their knowledge and mastery in the production of wines of excellence.

Today, Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo`s winery is assumed as the heir of their knowledge and art. Founded in 1956 by 154 members, it currently has 800.

Every year, on harvest season, our  cellar  receives approximately 8.5 million kg of grapes obtaining a production of about 6.5 million liters  of  wine  of which about 55% is white and the remaining 45% is red. 

Our winery belongs to the demarcated region of “Beira Interior” in the sub-region of Castelo Rodrigo. This sub-region is characterized by a continental/mediterranean climate with soils where the shales and sandstones prevail.

In the case of white grapes the predominant varieties are: Síria and Malvasia Fina and in the case of red grapes we have the marufo, the rufete, Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz.
