The Dona Maria winery, located in the Alentejo region of Portugal, is known for its high-quality red wines. The winery is led by Júlio Bastos, who has been instrumental in achieving international acclaim for the wines. The winery is part of the Quinta do Carmo, near Estremoz, which has a rich history dating back to the late 1980s.

The wine is made from a blend of different grape varieties, including Alicante Bouschet, Syrah, Petit Verdot, and Touriga Nacional. It is aged in new French oak barrels for one year, giving it a deep ruby color and a rich, wild fruit aroma, with notes of mint and spices.
