Fundação Eugénio de Almeida

Fundação Eugénio de Almeida is the historical pillar of Évora’s viticulture, being the revered creator of Cartuxa wines and the legendary Pêra-Manca, one of Portugal’s greatest icons.

● Located in the legendary city of Évora, this secular institution is dedicated to preserving and elevating Alentejo's heritage. The wines produced at the Cartuxa Winery, a former refuge of Carthusian monks, translate the classic excellence of southern Portugal. With the masterful use of indigenous grapes, from structured, silky reds to round, rich whites, the foundation reaches its ultimate pinnacle in the coveted Pêra-Manca, a symbol of luxury, complexity, and extraordinary aging potential. Tasting a wine from this house is participating in the living history and nobility of Évora.
