The Wines
The respect we have for what the vineyards provide us year after year, is intrinsic in the wines we produce.
We are supporters of the endogenous characteristics and genuineness, producing wines that reveal the specificities of indigenous varieties and the local “Terroir”.
The winemaking and aging process respect tradition, without the intervention of wood, producing elegant, complex, aromatic wines, very fresh, with excellent structure and longevity, being considered by some critics, the ones that best represent the “Classic Dão”.
