<\/p>\nLocated at the foot of Serra D'Ossa, just 35km north of \u00c9vora, Herdade da Maroteira is a 540ha property that has belonged to the same Anglo-Portuguese family for 5 generations, since the mid-19th century. At that time, Robert Reynolds invested in the Alentejo cork oak forest to satisfy the needs of the Port Wine industry in the north of Portugal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
For around 150 years, in addition to cork, the estate mainly produced cattle and some olives. In 2000, Philip Mollet, current owner and manager, revolutionized the farm's strategy and planted vineyards. The chosen Syrah grape variety proved to be a huge success in the form of the globally acclaimed Cem Reis wine. Later, a charming selection of reds, whites and ros\u00e9s resulted from the planting of Alicante Bouschet, Aragon\u00eaz and Touriga Nacional vineyards in an open valley.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
In 2004, agro-tourism (rural tourism) was the natural evolution of the farm, ideal for relaxing in a historic area with beautiful landscapes in Alentejo, Portugal. This is the perfect environment for a leisurely adventure through the cork forest, focusing on the incredible world of cork, on a jeep ride or hiking\u2026 and bird watching (Birdwatching) or stars (Stargazing). Typical seasonal agricultural activities can take place around it: manual cork extraction (May\/June), harvesting, raising lambs and sheep shearing, olive picking. In autumn and winter, black pigs (from which ham is made) come from Spain and roam freely, feeding on acorns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
