Howard's Folly

Howard’s Folly is an inspiring blend of three key ingredients: an innovative partnership between Chief Winemaker, David Baverstock, and entrepreneur, Howard Bilton; their joint passion to unlock the best of Portugal’s grape varietals; and, a mission to give something back through sponsorship of an arts-based charity for underprivileged children, the Sovereign Art Foundation.

Innovation, passion and mission drive everything we do, resulting in consistent production of delicious award-winning wines.

Based in the beautiful and historic town of Estremoz, we converted a heritage building into a state-of-the-art winery. We use smaller tanks to take advantage of higher fruit quality and keep wine batches separate so that we can make more reserve, varietal and super premium wines.
