Palácio

In Portugal, the term palácio refers to a magnificent palace or a large, prestigious building. However, it is also used to describe a winery and usually precedes the name. Similar to Château in France, "Palácio" is intended to suggest a certain quality and tradition, which implies a high standard of wine production. Such estates usually have a long history of vineyard ownership and an aristocratic background. Examples include Palácio da Bacalhôa, Palácio de Brejoeira and Palácios Vinos de Finca (pictured).
