Sangue Real
A relaxed introduction to the spirit of the Quinta. Freshness and everyday pleasure.
Quinta dos Arcos is located in Azeitão, 35 km south of Lisbon, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Arrábida Natural Park. Set in a landscape of cork oaks and olive trees, the vineyard is crossed by a river and planted mainly with French varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc, alongside Moscatel Graúdo.
No herbicides are used. The grapes, hand-harvested, come exclusively from the estate.
Since 2024, our clay amphorae give rise to wines that pay tribute to the ancestral methods of winemaking.
Made exclusively from grapes harvested by hand at Quinta dos Arcos. Oenology: Engº António Saramago.
Selective distribution. Our wines can be tasted and purchased at:
All our bottles are sealed with cork stoppers and generally capped with either a drop of sealing wax or a full wax capsule.
In July 2026, Quinta dos Arcos will open the doors of its wine library: a new building designed in keeping with traditional Portuguese architecture, featuring a panoramic terrace overlooking the Serra da Arrábida.
A place to taste our wines, take them home, and share a moment over a light meal, at any time of the day.
Discover all our wines, with full pricing: bottle to take, bottle on site, by the glass (12.5 cl), and tasting pour (5 cl).
35 km south of Lisbon, a few minutes from the beaches of Sesimbra, our estate welcomes you for private tastings amongst the vines, within the Adega das Ânforas, and inside our hundred-year-old mina.
Discover the story of a family estate, the restored century-old buildings, and two singular tasting spaces: the mina — a vaulted underground gallery from the early 20th century — and the barrel room. Here you will taste our wines in an exceptional setting.
Born in 1948 in Vila Nogueira de Azeitão, a few kilometres from Quinta dos Arcos, António Saramago is today the dean of Portuguese oenologists. More than sixty years of passion, discovery and excellence in service of Portuguese wine.
Trained at the prestigious Faculty of Oenology of the University of Bordeaux, his masters were Émile Peynaud and Pascal Ribéreau-Gayon — the founding fathers of modern oenology. His career began at José Maria da Fonseca, neighbour of Azeitão, before leading him to sign some of the most emblematic wines of Portugal, from the Alentejo to Beira Interior, from the Ribatejo to the Setúbal Peninsula.
Recognised by Jancis Robinson and Robert Parker, recipient of the Oenologist of the Year title, he today accompanies Quinta dos Arcos in the creation of signature wines faithful to the spirit of the Setúbal Peninsula.
At Quinta dos Arcos, the same gaze cultivates the vines, restores the buildings, and paints the labels. A journey that brings together, in a single gesture, the work of the land, architecture, and painting.
Everything begins in the vineyard. Hand harvesting, no herbicides, attention to the rhythm of the seasons. The grapes, sourced exclusively from Quinta dos Arcos, express a terroir between the Atlantic Ocean and the Serra da Arrábida — limestone soils, sea breezes, long hours of sun.
Technical guidance is provided by Engº António Saramago, dean of Portuguese oenologists. Each wine carries an intention; each harvest tells a story.
The century-old buildings of the estate have been restored with respect for the memory of the place. Traditional façades have been preserved, interiors have gained a contemporary language, and sustainable solutions — such as rainwater recovery on the cellar roof — are discreetly integrated into the heritage.
The Adega das Ânforas is the architectural heart of the project: a space designed to host both traditional barrel ageing and ancestral fermentation in clay amphorae.
A pictorial practice that has been in dialogue with the work of the land for more than a decade. Each wine carries an original work — painted by hand, in the contemporary expressionist tradition: sunflowers, portraits, winemaking scenes, self-portraits. The labels are not decoration: they are a sensitive extension of the territory.
The painted portrait of Engº António Saramago, displayed in the section devoted to oenology, is one of the works in this series. Painting the man who signs the wines is, for the author, a form of gratitude.
35 km south of Lisbon, off the main roads, in the countryside between the Atlantic Ocean and the Serra da Arrábida.
