Quinta do Paral Branco

Quinta do Paral Branco is a high-quality white wine produced in the Vidigueira sub-region of Alentejo, Portugal. This specific wine is a DOC (Denominação de Origem Controlada) Alentejo Vidigueira, known for its mineral character and citrus notes, often reflecting the unique microclimate where cool Atlantic winds meet the warm Alentejo plains.

The history of the estate dates back to 1703, but its modern era began in 2017 when it was acquired by Dieter Morszeck. Drawing from his background as the former president of the luxury luggage brand Rimowa, Morszeck focused on revitalizing the 85-hectare estate with a deep commitment to environmental sustainability and the preservation of traditional winemaking techniques, including the use of ancient vines.

Ownership today remains with the Morszeck family. The project has expanded beyond viticulture into luxury wine tourism, incorporating a boutique hotel and gourmet restaurant on the estate. The production is centralized at the winery in Vidigueira, utilizing both indigenous Portuguese grape varieties and sustainable farming practices to maintain the authentic soul of the Alentejo region.
