Encostas de Estremoz wines are produced at the Quinta da Esperança vineyards in Estremoz Portugal where new viticultural techniques are used in conjunction with traditional vineyard practices. Our intention is to combine innovative grape-growing technology on one hand, while retaining a strong sense of our national identity on the other. We are proud of our unique Portuguese grape varieties and the contribution they can make to the international world of wine.
