Cartuxa operates in Évora, the heart of Alentejo's sun-drenched plateau. The winery draws from the region's distinctive terroir—granite and schist soils, continental climate, and a long growing season that builds ripe, structured wines.
Pêra-Manca Branco, made from Antão Vaz, anchors the portfolio with mineral precision and depth. Scala Coeli Tinto, built on Alicante Bouschet, showcases the dark-skinned grape's natural power and tannin architecture. Foral de Évora Colheita Branco, from Assario Branco, rounds out the range with regional character. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate, reflecting the winery's standing among serious critics. Cartuxa's work reflects Alentejo's capacity for both white wines of aromatic complexity and reds of substance—a region increasingly recognized for quality beyond its borders.
