Produced exclusively from Fernão Pires grapes, sourced from vineyards in the Pinhel sub-region of Beira Interior, an area marked by low temperatures and relatively high rainfall. These Pala-Pinhel vineyards in Beira Alta give the wine its distinctive personality, shaped by the region’s cool climate and naturally vibrant acidity. The grapes are hand-harvested into 20 kg crates to ensure they remain intact and protected from oxidation, with no skin rupture prior to pressing at the winery. The wine is only lightly filtered.
