Herdade Da Maroteira Dez Tostões 18l Tinto

Descrição

Herdade da Maroteira lies at the foot of the Serra D'Ossa and covers 540 hectares, belonging to the same Anglo-Portuguese family for five generations, since the mid-19th century. At that time, Robert Reynolds invested in the Alentejo cork oak woodland (montado) to meet the needs of the Port wine industry in northern Portugal, and for around 150 years, the estate's production focused on cork and livestock. Only in 2000 did Philip Mollet, the estate's current owner and manager, revolutionize the farm's strategy by planting vineyards. Since then, the estate has produced excellent Alentejo wines based on its favored grape variety, Syrah. The vineyard covers 15 hectares planted in clay-limestone soils, giving the wines the genuine character of the Alentejo.
