Mainova Sociedade Agrícola Lda.

Nestled in the Alto Alentejo region, Herdade da Fonte Santa boasts centuries of soil preservation and refinement, paired with expertise in sustainable practices. This unique landscape, shaped by shale, granite, and a thriving ecosystem, serves as the foundation for exceptional regional products crafted by a dedicated team.

In this setting, MAINOVA was born — a brand that embodies authenticity, innovation, and sustainability. Celebrating the future while honoring the heritage, traditions, and timeless truths of the past, MAINOVA is a tribute to the enduring spirit of Alto Alentejo.

Herdade da Fonte Santa spans 20 hectares of vineyards planted with traditional Portuguese grape varieties, with 17.5 hectares managed under integrated production and 2.5 hectares following organic practices. The harvest is carried out manually and at night, ensuring meticulous care for the grapes and allowing for precise selection. Grapes are transported directly to the cellar, where gravity-fed processes preserve their quality during pressing and reservoir filling.

Winemaking here is a harmonious blend of tradition and modern expertise. Processes such as spontaneous fermentation, minimal human intervention, low sulphur dioxide use, and respect for the vineyard's natural pace are combined with contemporary knowledge to produce exceptional wines.

Sustainability extends beyond the vineyard. Most bottles are crafted from 100% recycled glass, while labels and shipping materials are made from recycled or high-cotton content paper. Wax seals replace traditional capsules, offering durability with a lower environmental footprint. DIAM stoppers are chosen to ensure the wine’s proper evolution over time, preserving its aromatic profile and quality.

At Herdade da Fonte Santa, each bottle reflects a commitment to excellence, authenticity, and environmental responsibility.
