The history of Tapada do Chaves dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, when the Chaves family planted the first vines on the slopes of Serra de São Mamede in their small tapada, starting a relationship of passion and dedication to the land. Located in the parish of Frangoneiro, on the outskirts of Portalegre, Tapada do Chaves has been in existence for over a century and has taken on a prominent role in the creation of the demarcated region in the Alentejo with its wines of protected origin. In Tapada do Chaves there are two of the oldest vineyard plots in Alentejo, in production, with records in 1901 for the red vine and in 1903 for the white vine. With 60 hectares of land and 32 of wine-growing heritage, the tapada is located on a granite massif and at a generous altitude, in an area strongly influenced by the orography and the agroforestry cover, in a microclimate that is decisive for the quality and typicality of the wines produced there. . It is a unique place for its heritage and potential.

It is the result of the selection of the Aragonez, Trincadeira and Alicante Bouschet grape varieties, from the vineyards Vinha das Malhadas, Vinha das Moutas and Vinha Velha (1901), planted between 350 and 400 metres above sea level. Concentrated garnet color, intense and full aroma, wild fruits and black fruit dominate, with soft smoky notes. In the mouth it has great structure, with robust tannins, volume and firm acidity. The intense fruit appears side by side with notes of spices and smooth balsamics. Very complex finish, with fruit and a lot of elegance that persists.
