Esporão

Esporão was founded in 1973 by José Roquette and Joaquim Bandeira with the purchase of Herdade do Esporão located in Reguengos de Monsaraz, Alentejo. Fifty years later, Esporão has become one of the largest wine producers in Portugal, maintaining a family structure with renewed international and generational perspectives. It has expanded to the Douro region with the purchase of Quinta dos Murças, and to the Vinho Verde region with the acquisition of Quinta do Ameal.

The organic transition began to be implemented in Alentejo in 2007. This long process was completed in 2019 at Herdade do Esporão and in 2021 at Quinta dos Murças, creating a scale that has elevated Esporão to international leadership in organic wine production.
