Herdade Da Maroteira Bio Tostões Biológico Tinto

Description

The Herdade da Maroteira is situated at the foot of Serra D’Ossa, spanning 540 hectares that have belonged to the same Anglo‑Portuguese family for five generations since the mid‑19th century. At that time, Robert Reynolds invested in the Alentejo pasture to meet the needs of the Port‑wine industry in northern Portugal, and for about 150 years the estate’s focus was on cork and livestock. It was only in the year 2000 that Philip Mollet, the current owner and manager, revolutionised the estate’s strategy and planted vines. Since then, the estate has produced excellent Alentejo wines based on its preferred variety, Syrah. The vineyard is spread across 15 hectares planted on clay‑limestone soils, giving the wines the authentic character of Alentejo.
