Herdade Da Maroteira Dez Tostões Branco

Description

The Maroteira Estate lies at the foot of Serra D’Ossa, spanning 540 hectares that have been owned by the same Anglo‑Portuguese family for five generations since the mid‑19th century. Back then, Robert Reynolds invested in the Alentejo scrubland to supply the Port wine industry in northern Portugal, and for about 150 years the estate focused on cork and livestock. It was only in 2000 that Philip Mollet, the current owner and manager, revolutionised the estate’s strategy and planted vineyards. Since then, the estate has produced excellent Alentejo wines based on its preferred variety, Syrah. The vines are spread across 15 hectares planted on clay‑lime soils, giving the wines the genuine character of Alentejo.
