about the wine

Respecting the wine tradition of the oldest demarcated region in the world, these wines are produced based on their native varieties. Versatile and gastronomic, they embody the cooler side of the Douro.

DOURO – ALTITUDE – FRESHNESS

It was an unusual year with several challenges throughout the cycle. It rained on 1/3 of the days, which resulted in an accumulated rainfall 35% higher than the average. The maximum, average and minimum temperatures were also higher, with a decrease in chill hours of about 20%. The month of July was extremely hot and dry, accelerating the end of the cycle. These conditions have resulted in increased vegetative growth, increased pressure of mildew and powdery mildew, a decrease in the number of bunches, and an increase in the dehydration of the berries, which together has led to a significant decrease in production. We started the harvest earlier than usual for white grapes, on 17 August, with good concentration, acidity and phenolic ripeness.
