The Concept
A deep understanding of the land was what made this wine project possible, which has gone beyond its commercial vein. It’s a passion, which we eagerly share with wine lovers all over the world. The pursuit of quality, the attention to detail in each stage of production, tradition allied to innovation, the value of artisan work and recourse to state-of-the-art technology are some of the factors that mark our wines, produced exclusively from our own grapes.
The Beginning
Herdade do Gamito resides in the Northeastern Alentejo, 4 kms from the historical village of Crato, the ancient headquarters of the Order of Malta in Portugal. Comprised by 27 hectares of vines, it belongs to the descendants of a traditional family, with centenary roots in the region. Stories of the family’s illustrious ancestors inhabited the thoughts of Gonçalo de Sá da Bandeira as a child. He dreamed of recovering the lost lands of his forefathers. This want, together with his love for the land and a passion for wine, led him to buy from his father a small parcel of land, which was what remained of what had once been a grand agricultural estate. With much work, persistence, help from his wife and his friends, he steadily expanded the borders of his small farm and began to play with the art of making wine. It was an artisan beginning, which eventually evolved and adapted to the requirements of modern and professional enology. The wines of Herdade do Gamito were born from the will of a child who has been for a long time now, a man. However, he never stopped dreaming. And some say, that if you look close enough, you can see these dreams dancing in each bottle.
