At the beginning of the 19th century, Thomas Reynolds migrated to the Alentejo region with the objective of the cork business. Three generations later, his grandson John Reynolds acquired Herdade do Mouchão for wine production.
Today, Herdade do Mouchão continues to be managed and worked by the descendants of the original family and the entire winemaking process remains practically unchanged, preserving the traditional harvest by hand and the fermentation of grapes in stone lagares, using treading. foot. It is these techniques and the entire success story of Herdade do Mouchão, which makes this winemaking company so close to what wines used to be like.
