Casa Relvas is a family project, started in 1997 in São Miguel de Machede, Redondo, by Alexandre Relvas, aiming to continue the history of five generations with a strong passion for the Alentejo region and its genuine nature. Over the years, the family has grown alongside the business, and it wasn't long before it now encompasses approximately 750 hectares of cork oak forest, 225 hectares of olive groves, and 350 hectares of vineyards, all under integrated production. With its three estates – Herdade de São Miguel, Herdade da Pimenta, and Herdade de São Miguel de Machede – Casa Relvas has the capacity to produce 6 million bottles of wine annually, 70% of which are destined for the export market, with a presence in over 30 countries worldwide, offering the best of the Alentejo.
