Torre do Frade

Portuguese rosés and reserves from Alentejano's sun-driven terroir.

Torre do Frade is a winery in Alentejano, Portugal's expansive southern wine region known for sun-ripened reds and increasingly sophisticated rosés. The winery produces wines that have drawn attention from major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Falstaff. Its flagship Grande Reserva, made from unspecified grapes, represents the core of the portfolio. The winery also focuses on rosé production: Family Edition Virgo Rosé, built on Shiraz/Syrah, and V de Virgo Rosé, made from Touriga Nacional—Portugal's signature dark grape. Both rosés demonstrate the region's capacity for structured, age-worthy expressions beyond the category's lighter conventions. Alentejano's warm continental climate and diverse soils support the full range of styles Torre do Frade pursues, from reserve blends to varietal rosés.
