Where it all begins...

The vines are in the sub-region of Baixo Corgo (Valdigem), distributed by 3 parcels with total area of 6 ha on terraces along the hillside supported by walls of stone, with exposure of the quadrant west. The soils are stony and mostly schist, with a parcel of vine in land transition to granite.

In schist predominate the red grapes, living harmoniously widespread varieties such as Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Trincadeira e Touriga Nacional with other more rare (Malvasia Preta, Tinta da Barca, Rufete...). The white grapes prevail in the transition parcel: Viosinho, Gouveio, Fernão Pires, Síria, among others.

The age of the vines is high - between 30 and 80 years! - with high density planting and balanced unit production, which ranges from 0,5 to 1 kg of grapes per grapevine.

It's in the vine that everything begins, hence the importance in producing grapes with high quality potential, capable of express at the maximum the varietal characteristics enhanced by the "terroir" where they are!
