Amorim has always been committed to the land and now that concept has expanded from cork forests to vineyards. In 1994, the Amorim family acquired the Portugese estate, Herdade Aldeia de Cima, located in the Alentejo region of Portugal. Since 2017, Luisa Amorim has planted and reinvigorated twelve different indigenous varieties, planted to the first traditionally terraced vineyard in Alentejo. The Amorim Group also acquired a vineyard and winery in the Dão region of Portugal two years ago, further spotlighting unique, indigenous varieties with its Taboadella label.
