Quinta de Camarate is a single vineyard wine

the Setúbal Peninsula.

Soares Franco Jr. in 1914 and is now the property of the brothers António and Domingos
Soares Franco, the prime owners of José Maria da Fonseca.
Quinta de Camarate has an area of 120 hectares, 39 of which are covered with

Azeitão cheese. The vines of Quinta de Camarate are planted on lime and clay soil
sheltered by the Arrábida hills.
