The relatively young Mainova winemaking team was only founded in 2019 by José Luís Monteiro and his family. Father and mother have placed the responsibility for this in the hands of their youngest daughter Bárbara, hence the name: Mainova means “the baby of the family” in Portuguese. The likeable and committed young woman and a young team take care of the sustainable care of the 20 hectares of their own vineyards. Sustainability plays a major role at Mainova, chemical additives are used to a limited extent and the rules of organic farming are adapted to the circumstances where necessary, always in accordance with organic guidelines.
