Cintila is made at the Cooperativa Santo Isidro de Pegoes, founded in 1958. The cooperative is made up of 140 winegrowers and has access to over 1,100 hectares of vineyard located in the Terras do Sado area of the Setubal Peninsula.

This coastal area benefits from mineral-rich sandy soils and cooling Atlantic winds. Santo Isidro de Pegoes is one of the most forward thinking cooperatives in Portugal and their chief winemaker, Jaime Quendera one of Portugal’s most respected winemakers. Cintila, which means “shine” or “sparkle” is a dazzling range of fruit-driven wines which represent excellent value-for-money.

Cintila is part of our Essential wine list, which is a group of exceptional wines at amazing value. These wines are only available by the case in multiples of six.
