Herdade Da Maroteira Dez Tostões Branco

Description

The Herdade da Maroteira is located at the foot of Serra D’Ossa and spans 540 hectares that have belonged to the same Anglo-Portuguese family for five generations since the mid‑nineteenth century. At that time, Robert Reynolds invested in the Alentejo estate to meet the needs of the Port wine industry in northern Portugal, and for about 150 years the property focused on cork production and livestock. It was only in 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 the preferred grape, Syrah. The vines are spread across 15 hectares of clay‑limestone soils, giving the wines the authentic character of Alentejo.
