Quinta do Paral
Winemaker: Quinta do Paral
The focus of Quinta do Paral is on environmental sustainability and respect for the culture and tradition of the Portuguese region, Alentejo. Dieter Morszeck, former president and grandson of the founder of the luxury luggage brand Rimowa, splits his time between business in Switzerland and the United States and winemaking in Vidigueira, Portugal.
With over 200 acres, Dieter Morszeck and Luís Morgado Leão produce superior wines that express Vidigueira’s unmistakable character. To do so, they blend national varieties such as Arinto, Antão Vaz, Perrum, Aragonês, Touriga Nacional, and Tinta Grossa that grow alongside international varieties such as Alicante Bouschet, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Vermentino.
