Herdade Da Maroteira Dez Tostões Tinto

Description

The Maroteira Estate lies at the foot of Serra D’Ossa and spans 540 hectares owned by the same Anglo‑Portuguese family for five generations, since the mid‑19th century. At that time, Robert Reynolds invested in the Alentejo estate to meet the demands of the Port wine industry in northern Portugal, and for about 150 years the property’s focus was cork and livestock. Only in the year 2000 did Philip Mollet, the current owner and manager, revolutionise the estate’s strategy and plant vines. Since then, the estate has produced excellent Alentejo wines based on its preferred grape, Syrah. The vines are planted over 15 hectares of clay‑limestone soils, giving the wines the genuine character of Alentejo. (Illustrative image)
