Quinta de Mata Mouros", is situated on the left bank of the river Arade in southern Portugal, near the mythical Xelb, one of the wealthiest cities of Al-andalus, now Silves and takes us back through more than a thousand years of captivating legends and well documented stories.

Recently, the owners of "Quinta de Mata Mouros" took on the challenge of producing high - quality wine good enough to measure up to the best wines from the main winegrowing regions in Portugal. In January 2012, the "Convento do Paraíso" project began through a partnership between the Pereira Coutinho family (owner of Quinta de Mata Mouros) and the Soares family.

The 12 hectare vineyard, planted in 2000 along with its modern cellar are under the responsibility of Herdade da Malhadinha Nov's wine farming and enology teams.

The result of this investment in this area and a unique climate backed by knowledge, people and technology takes form in the production of wines of the highest quality.
