RAISED, MATURED, AND BOTTLED IN THE DOURO VALLEY
It doesn’t matter how well you work the grapes at the winery unless the origin of the grapes is the very best. The most important legacy that we received from our ancestors was the learning that wine is made in the vineyard. For this reason, we cultivate 100 hectares of vineyards, plus 25 hectares of organic olive groves, across five properties in the Douro valley, from the sub-region of Cima Corgo. This diversity provides grapes of varying aromas and flavors that help us craft distinct wines and unforgettble experiences along the way.
Our ancestors’ passion for viticulture and respect for the land around us drive us every day to cultivate a sustainable legacy for generations to come. With deep respect for the environment and its natural cycles, we began growing our vines organically in 2012. Since then, we have gradually expanded our organic production area, drawing on ancient wisdom traditions while investing in state-of-the-art equipment. This has enabled us to progressively reduce the use of artificial chemicals on our other properties, minimizing our environmental impact and allowing the essence of the local territory to prevail.
Our vineyard has become a sanctuary for beneficial insects, pollinators and native plants, providing a safe haven in the midst of the ever-expanding human footprint. This rich biodiversity is not just a spectacle to behold – it improves the health of our vineyards and, in turn, the quality of the wines you enjoy. Cheers!
