The vineyards, located at a unique altitude (700-750 metres), bring together the region’s characteristic grape varieties and comprise three plots with distinct profiles: Alvandeira, with clay-loam soils; Souto, with transitional granite-schist soils; and Lameiras, with granite and quartz. Organic production, a <em>terroir</em> steeped in history, and the setting between the Douro, Côa and Águeda rivers give the wines from this estate a truly unique profile. Fresh grapes harvested at optimal ripeness by hand into 20 kg crates are taken to the winery, carefully sorted, fully destemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation is carried out by variety in stainless steel, followed by 12 months of ageing in French oak barrels.
