Pedro Baptista

Cartuxa's winemaking team is led by Pedro Baptista, a cadre of seasoned professionals dedicated to crafting wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the Alentejo region. While specific individual profiles of this team are not widely publicized, the collective expertise of the team is evident in the consistent quality and innovation displayed across Cartuxa's wine portfolio. The team's approach balances traditional methods, such as fermenting in large clay amphoras—a practice inherited from Roman times—with modern techniques that enhance precision and expression. This harmonious blend of old and new ensures that each bottle encapsulates the rich history and dynamic future of Alentejo winemaking.

The Alentejo wine region, encompassing over 30% of Portugal's land area, is celebrated for its vast cork forests, rolling plains, and burgeoning wine industry. Historically known for cork production, the region has, since the 1980s, undergone a viticultural renaissance, emerging as a leading producer of high-quality wines. ​
