Located in the Portalegre sub-region of the Alto Alentejo, Quinta da Fonte Souto is the Symington family’s newest innovative wine project. The name "Fonte Souto" holds a special meaning: "Fonte" symbolizing the abundance of water from the springs on the property, while "Souto" refers to the vast area covered by chestnut trees.
Quinta da Fonte Souto, situated at relatively high altitudes in the Serra de São Mamede Natural Park, offers ideal conditions for producing exceptional wines. Located east of the Alentejo plain, this property stands out for its distinctive and promising terroir.
At the heart of the estate, a magnificent early 19th century mansion surrounded by lush gardens serves as the perfect setting for wine tastings. The warm hospitality and deep knowledge of the staff further enrich the experience, as they share stories and secrets about the region and the art of winemaking.
In addition to producing high-quality wines, Quinta da Fonte Souto provides an unforgettable wine tourism experience. Visitors are invited to explore the estate's stunning landscapes, bicycle rides, strolling among the vineyards and ancient chestnut trees. Guided tours offer an in-depth understanding of the winemaking process, from grape harvesting to bottling, allowing wine enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the fascinating world of winemaking.
The goal of Fonte Souto is to produce a distinctive range of wines that showcase the best of the Portalegre area, the Alentejo region, and Portugal. This is a long-term project with the ambition to highlight the unique terroir of this region for wine lovers. We invite everyone to discover and savor the essence of Fonte Souto, an experience that celebrates the rich winemaking tradition and natural beauty of this extraordinary region.
