Adegas do Torreão was a small producer that operated from the late 18th century to the early 20th century. Unlike most Madeira producers, Adegas do Torreão did not own any vineyards, but bought grapes and wines from local farmers. They then aged and blended them in their cellars, ensuring quality and consistency. Adegas do Torreão sold most of their wines to larger Madeira houses, who used them in their own blends. However, on rare occasions, Adegas do Torreão bottled some of their wines under their own label, creating limited and exclusive editions.
