Taste the Essence of Lourinhã

One of Lourinhã’s true treasures is its DOC Aguardente, a brandy that holds a prestigious designation of origin, putting it on par with the likes of Cognac and Armagnac. Lourinhã is the only wine region in Portugal exclusively dedicated to the production of wine-based brandies.

Made with the utmost care, DOC Aguardente Lourinhã undergoes a meticulous distillation process, followed by years of aging in oak barrels to develop its unique flavor profile. The result is a smooth, aromatic spirit, with notes of vanilla, dried fruits, and subtle spices.

Visitors to the region can enjoy this exceptional brandy in local restaurants or tasting rooms, where they’ll discover the craftsmanship and heritage behind every bottle. It’s not just a drink; it’s a true representation of Lourinhã’s dedication to quality and tradition.
