Herdade dos Arrochais is a family estate located in Amareleja, in the middle of Alentejo.
After the acquisition in 1990, the family patriarch's passion and dedication to the land and hunting led him to invest all his personal and patrimonial resources in restoring the estate's soil, flora and fauna, as well as the exemplary recovery of agricultural land with a view to restoring its productive capacity and quality. The family is very close to nature. So the soil has been 'revived', the land has been reforested and wildlife has been cared for, some of which is reflected in the labels. Wine is grown here up to 1,500 meters above sea level.
