Mainova Alentejo is a name that resonates strongly in the world of wine tourism and olive groves, located in the heart of the Alto Alentejo.

This company, born of tradition and innovation, is preparing to participate once again in FINE #WineTourism Marketplace on 13 and 14 March 2024, offering a unique opportunity to discover its wine tourism proposal.

Herdade da Fonte Santa, the home of Mainova, is a land where soil preservation and continuous improvement have been carried out for centuries, combining experience with best practices and processes.

Here, where schist, granite and a unique ecosystem meet, a highly specialised team works to generate the best products the region has to offer, under the commitment to be an authentic, innovative and sustainable brand.

The treatment of wine, key to Mainova

Mainova Alentejo invites wine and olive oil lovers to immerse themselves in a unique experience that combines tradition and modernity.

With twenty hectares of vineyards planted with traditional Portuguese grape varieties, of which 17.5 are in integrated production and the rest in organic production regimes, Mainova strives for sustainable and responsible viticulture. Harvesting is done manually and at night, ensuring exceptional care of the grapes and meticulous selection.

This attention to detail extends to the winery, where the grapes are treated with the utmost respect, using gravity to preserve the quality of the must and the grapes, and where fermentations are carried out spontaneously, with minimal human intervention, respecting the natural timing of the vineyard.

In addition to its commitment to sustainable viticulture, Mainova also stands out for its production of extra virgin olive oil.

With 90 hectares of olive groves under integrated production, Mainova produces exceptional oil from varieties such as Galega, Arbequina, Cobrançosa, Picual, Cordovil and Frantoio.

Semi-manual harvesting and cold extraction allow them to obtain a fruity oil with unique characteristics, bottled with the same care and attention to detail as their wines, ensuring the preservation of its quality and flavour over time.

Olive oil, the other key point for Mainova

Mainova offers not only products of exceptional quality, but also unforgettable experiences that allow visitors to connect with the land and its traditions.

From visits and tastings of its wines and olive oils, to walks through its vineyards and olive groves, Mainova invites visitors to discover the sustainable authenticity of its land. Visitors can choose from a variety of activities, such as a tasting of three wines accompanied by a platter of regional products, or a more extensive experience that includes a tasting of six wines and olive oils, complemented by a selection of local products.

For those looking for a more relaxed experience, Mainova offers the opportunity to enjoy a picnic among the vineyards, a perfect way to absorb the beauty of the Alto Alentejo while indulging in the flavours this land has to offer.

At FINE #WineTourism Marketplace, Mainova Alentejo presents itself as a must-see destination for those passionate about wine, olive oil and the search for authentic and sustainable experiences.

Its wine tourism proposal, combined with the commitment to preserve the heritage and traditions of the past, guarantees visitors unique and unforgettable moments.
