Herdade dos Grous is one of the best wineries in Portugal, from the province of Alentejo. Winemaker Luís Duarte is the only person to have been named Portuguese Winemaker of the Year twice.

Winemaking at Herdade dos Grous only began in 1986 - it's just one of the activities this remarkable estate undertakes. Besides grapes, olive and orange trees are cultivated, and cattle and show-jumping horses are bred. But everything Herdade dos Grous does is done with respect for nature, which is why the use of pesticides is kept to a minimum.

Across almost 70 hectares of vineyards, Herdade dos Grous has planted various grape varieties: Arinto, Roupeiro, Antão Vaz, Touriga Nacional, Aragonez (Tempranillo), Alicante Bouschet and - since this grape was officially permitted thanks to nearby Cortes de Cima in Alentejo - Syrah. Dry white and red wines are made from them.

Winemaking is led by Luís Duarte, no beginner himself. Twice, in 1997 and 2007, he was named Portuguese Winemaker of the Year - no one else can say that. Luís strives to create blends of different indigenous Portuguese grapes that suit the taste of the international wine lover. We currently have three wines from Herdade dos Grous in our range.
