How the Winery Came to Be

Herdade da Fonte Santa, located in the Alto Alentejo region, have centuries of conservation and improvement of its raw materials, combining them with the best practices and processes. It’s here where we can find schist, granite, and a unique ecosystem that combine into a terroir.  It is here that a highly specialized team works to generate the best products that the region can offer.

It's in this context and commitment that Mainova is born, an authentic, innovative and sustainable brand, which seeks the future without ever forgetting the traditional roots of the past.

Taking Care of the Lands

We believe that we can do good by taking care of our land because it is unique. From the first moment, we take care of our vineyard and olive grove with the aim of guaranteeing exceptional, natural, and conscious products. At Mainova we put great effort daily, to stand up to environmentally friendly solutions in all processes. Packaging is one of our major concerns for the safety of our planet.

Wonderful visit! Everything was amazing, very tasteful, friendly people (especially Carmo who made the experience super incredible). The design of the place is beautiful and I really recommend the visit! A pleasant surprise was the double curmenta wine and their Milmat reserva red wine :)

Wonderful experience at this lovely vineyard and olive producer. Had a private guide who took us into the fields and explained the winemaking and olive oil process in detail Then we had a unique tasting of 5 different olive oils and rated them by taste/smell We even had a complimentary glass of their lovely wine. Don't miss this!

Desde o momento em que chegamos na Herdade fomos muito bem recepcionados pela Margarida com toda sua simpatia e conhecimento , nos proporcionou vivenciar todo or processo de preparação do vinho e azeite, os ideais da empresa entre outras curiosidades. Recommend, it's great! Obrigada Margarida pela sua disponibilidade e por nos ter recebido tão bem!

We had a great tour and wine tasting. The olive oil was very good and we specially liked the white wine. Ended up buying both. Our guide Pedro was nice & fun. This is a natural & bio winery. It's a bit pricier than others on the area. But we loved the wines & olive oil and both the store and the estate were beautiful.

As a photographer of casamentos, a Herdade Mainova surpreendeu-me with his beautiful modern and architectural design. The perfect space for the house that you want to create an elegant atmosphere, with plenty of natural light and unique cenarios for memorized photos. This is an ideal school for a casamento that has a sophistication and serenity in the Alentejo. Recomendo vivamente!
