Producer Profile
Thomas Lindeborg visited Portugal in 1984 on a trip to São Martinho do Porto. It was on this journey he got captivated by the country and its people. Wine has always been a passion that pivoted as a push to invest in the Portuguese wine industry.
In 2019, Thomas Lindeborg acquired Quinta da Folgorosa and later in the same year, the organic winery Vale de Cortém, both in the Lisbon wine region. Quinta Vale do Armo in the Tejo region became part of the group in 2020, followed by Herdade da Cabeceira in Alentejo in 2021. The most recent acquisition, also in Lisbon is Adega Moor.
