Description
Behind Adega Cartuxa is a large family, the Eugénio de Almeida family. Let's go back to 1913, the year in which Vasco Maria was born, into one of the most influential families of the 19th century. Born in Lisbon, he soon established ties with Évora and Alentejo, where the family had an extensive heritage. Vasco Maria always considered people as the most valuable variable around which he organized all his efforts. Among them, the revitalization of wine-growing activity and the investment in the planting of a vast area of olive groves just a few kilometers from Évora stand out, which resulted in the wines and olive oils still produced today.
