"Elegant, Robust, Faithful, Dedicated" ... Symbiosis between the Lusitano horse and Ervideira wines, superior wines, who want to provide excellent moments
The family Leal da Costa, direct descendant of Count D'Ervideira, the century successful farmer, are the owners of Herdade do Monte da Ribeira and Herdadinha
<p></p><p>Since its creation in 1942, Sogrape Vinhos has been investing in the main Portuguese wine regions. With a strong presence in Dão, Douro and Vinhos Verdes, entry into Alentejo - the national wine region with the highest growth rates - was natural and inevitable</p>
<p>Cartuxa Red Wine pours an intense garnet color. Its aroma is complex and elegant, with notes of ripe red and black fruits beautifully integrated with touches of spices, tobacco, and vanilla from its time in wood. On the palate, it is a full-bodied wine with firm yet rounded tannins and a balanced acidity, leading to a long, persistent, and complex finish. This structured profile makes it an excellent pairing for dishes of red meat, game, and roasted pork, as well as rich oven dishes and semi-cured or aged cheeses.</p>
<p></p><p>Herdade da Maroteira is among a group of estates owned by an Anglo-Portuguese family in the Alentejo region of Portugal for over 5 generations</p> <p> </p>
<p></p><p>Montefino Reserva Red Wine presents dark ruby colour, red fruit aroma, cherries and chocolate. Floral notes from the Touriga Nacional. On the mouth it shows good body and structure, very gastronomical.</p>
<p></p><p>Susana Esteban was born in Tui, Spain. She holds a degree in Chemical Sciences from the University of Santiago de Compostela and a Master's degree in Viticulture and Oenology from the University of La Rioja. She began her trajectory as an oenologist in 1999 at Quinta do Côtto, and later worked as an oenologist at Quita do Crasto between 2002 and 2007. Both farms are located in the Douro. She has worked since the 2007 harvest as a consultant in different Alentejo producers, namely Tiago Cabaço Wines, Herdade do Barrocal, Monte dos Cabaços and Monte da Raposinha.</p>
<p></p><p>Quinta do Mouro is located at the gates of the city of Estremoz, and belonged for centuries to the Zagalos family, one of the wealthiest in town. This original "quinta" in Alentejo, where the vast estates dominate, has an 18th century grooved house, charming gardens, bowls and 18th century tanks. In 1979, at the age of 26, luck dictated Miguel Louro's fate at a poker table, among friends, when he had the dilemma of buying a Porsche or Quinta do Mouro. The first hectares of vineyard would be planted in 1989, after a failed incursion into cattle breeding, and today he is one of the most iconic wine producers in the region.</p> <p></p>

<p></p><p><span>A traditional family-run winery, built in 1901, in the Alentejo region of Portugal. Renowned for its quality wine, olive oil, honey and pomace brandy.</span></p>
<p></p> <p>Quinta da Fonte Souto white wine embodies all the strengths of the property’s unique terroir: the freshness and balance afforded by the altitude; the concentration, which derives from mature, low-yielding vines, and the complexity and structure provided by the barrel fermentation sur-lie (on the lees) with bâtonnage. This white allows for maximum expression of the Arinto, widely regarded as Portugal’s finest white grape variety and has a smaller Verdelho component</p>
