About the estate
The Howard's Folly Wine estate originates in the high-altitude region of Portalegre in the Alentejo, where cooler climates allow grapes to mature slowly. The project was founded in 2005 by Howard Bilton and winemaker David Baverstock to combine the character of the Portuguese terroir with an international vision. Based in a historic building in Estremoz, the winery uses smaller tanks to vinify separate batches for reserve and premium styles. A distinctive feature of the enterprise is its art-inspired labels, many of which are designed by winners of the Sovereign Art Foundation or world-famous artists.
The eno directory lists 24 wines, mostly from Touriga Nacional and Syrah. The estate sells to distributors and horeca. Export markets include Belgium, Georgia, United Kingdom and Germany.
Contact details are not published. Describe your needs – the producer receives the request by e-mail and replies through the platform.
