    Fundação Eugénio de Almeida Wine Heritage

    Eugénio de Almeida was a 19th-century philanthropist whose foundation still runs a winery inside a former Jesuit monastery. Vines were planted here in 1517. Pedro Álvares Cabral loaded this wine onto his ships before accidentally discovering Brazil in 1500. The Pêra-Manca label — only made in exceptional vintages — was voted the best wine in the world by 54 million Vivino users. At €400+ a bottle, it ages in cellars where young King Sebastião studied before growing up to destroy Portugal's empire at Alcácer Quibir. The brand-new Enoteca Cartuxa opened in April 2024 in the Palace of the Counts of Basto.
