Viticulture
Grapes are sourced from several estate-owned plots throughout the Amarante region. Harvested by hand.
Terroir
Mainly granite with a mix of schist.
Vineyard
Vineyards are located throughout the sub-region of Amarante within Vinho Verde; a brief 40 minutes from Oporto and 15 minutes from the entrance to Douro Valley. Because of this location at higher altitude, the vines enjoy a diverse microclimate and distinctive terroir. Wide swings between day and night temperatures result in longer hang time and more even ripening for the grapes.
Vinification
Grapes are transferred to winery where they are destemmed and gently pressed. Wine ferments in stainless steel vats for about 15 days.
