Located in the Alto Alentejo area, Herdade da Fonte Santa has centuries of preservation and improvement of its soil, combined with experience in best practices and processes.
It is here, where shale, granite and a unique ecosystem meet, that a highly specialized team works to generate the best products the region can offer.
It is in this context and under this commitment that MAINOVA is born, an authentic, innovative, sustainable brand that toasts to the future without ever forgetting the heritage, traditions and truths of the past.
The Vineyard
Out of 20 hectares of vines planted with traditional Portuguese grape varieties, 17.5 hectares are in integrated production and 2.5 hectares in organic production regimes.
The entire harvest is manual and nocturnal, thus providing greater care for the grapes and a more careful selection. The grape goes directly to the cellar, where the filling of the press and reservoir is done by gravity to preserve the quality of the grapes and must.
Here, winemakers make their art at the natural speed of the vineyard, respecting the time required in each process - spontaneous fermentations, low sulphur dioxide and minimal human intervention combined with today's knowledge and know-how.
The packaging is thought to detail. Most of the bottles are made of 100% recycled glass, the paper used on labels and shipping boxes are also recycled and/or with a higher percentage of cotton. Instead of the traditional capsules, they use wax to seal the bottles in order to guarantee greater durability, with less environmental impact.
They selected DIAM stoppers, which preserve the correct evolution of the wine in the bottle over time, respecting the aromatic profile and quality of the wine.
