About
Project Old Moreto Vineyards from Granja-Amareleja
This project is the responsibility and initiative of Granja-Amareleja Cooperative.
Founded in 1952, it has been producing olive oil and distinctive wines for 70 years. Wines with an Alentejo soul and in the pure tradition of the left bank of the river Guadiana.
Due to the rarity and expression it achieves here, the Moreto variety is an ex-libris of the house.
