ALVARINHO

DOC Vinho Verde Alvarinho, Monção e Melgaço

On the banks of the River Minho is the iconic sub-region of Monção and Melgaço, where the emblematic variety of its name Alvarinho predominates. This wine is born in hillside vineyards, with Southwest exposure and in granitic soils.This terroir is characterized by a temperate Atlantic climate, with high levels of precipitation in winter and spring, during the maturation phase large thermal amplitudes allow the grapes to achieve slow and balanced maturation and with a vibrant and mineral acidity.
The objective of oenology was to respect the grapes as much as possible throughout the winemaking process, minimizing intervention in the cellar in order to maximize the expression of the terroir and particularly of the vineyard.

LOUREIRO

DOC Vinho Verde Vale do Lima

The Lima valley is the birthplace of one of the most iconic grape varieties in the Vinhos Verdes region, named Loureiro. With unique and passionate characteristics, with a strong Atlantic influence, this variety rises to higher levels of freshness, salinity, aroma and flavor. The grapes, coming from a vineyard in clayey-schist soil about 5 km from the sea and another in a granitic soil, provide us with a wine with a delicate texture, an elegant and pronounced acidity and intense aromas of this variety. The entire winemaking process respects the expression of the vines as much as possible. Less intervention maximum expression!

LENTO

OLD VINES RED WINE

Slowly you go far…

From vineyards over 100 years old, carefully harvested by hand, we obtain a Douro made of precious subtleties. The vinifications take place spontaneously in granite presses and a small part in stainless steel, and wood is not used. We want it to be an honest wine, without extras, that lives from the extraordinary quality of the grapes that are born in the different old vines of our collection, throughout the demarcated Douro region. The macerations are long and delicate. 

We want you to feel the Douro from one end to the other, from the lower to the higher elevations, the different solar exposures, the predominance of schist and the many years of legacy that today allow us to make pure, distinct, elegant and full of character wines. Wines that are born in the vineyards, never forgetting the science behind them, the result of processes in which oenological knowledge is synonymous with vigilance and not an alibi for manipulation; elementary to reduce to almost zero the intervention in the cellar, where we just want to feel the beautiful notes that come from the vineyard and leave us dreaming of incredible destinations and places, reminding us that the best comes almost always slowly, at the pace of nature. This is the main mark of this wine: a wine that is born at the right pace, at the pace of the vineyard and of nature that makes it reborn every spring.

WHITE WINE

Slowly you go far…

Originating from old vineyards with an average age of 90 years, located over 500 meters in altitude and carefully harvested by hand, our Douro wine is a myriad of delicate subtleties. Poor, sandy, granitic soils contribute to a unique profile, demonstrating unrivalled freshness marked by the vineyard’s high altitude.

The grapes arrive at the winery in 20 kg boxes and are gently pressed. The must is decanted at 8ºC for two to three days. Fermentation is spontaneous by indigenous yeasts. We do not use oak.

Unmasked, we search for a pure expression of the terroir, showcasing minerality, vibrant acidity and freshness. Our aim is to show that the Douro can also produce great white wines. Wines from old vineyards, the legacy of our predecessors, which today allow us to make distinctive wines full of character.Wines that are born in the vineyard. Wines that respect science but use it only where necessary minimising intervention in the winery, staying as true to the vineyard as possible.

OLD VINES (Sand Floor) WHITE WINE

Originating from two plots of old vines over 120 years old and above 500 metres above sea level, carefully harvested by hand, we produce a unique Douro born in a terroir unknown to many.
Poor, sandy soils of granite origin contribute to a unique profile and an expression of a high-altitude Douro with unrivalled freshness.
The grapes arrive at the winery in 20kg boxes and are gently pressed. The must is decanted at 8ºC for two to three days.
Fermentation takes place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and ends in new and used French oak barrels (Bertrange forest). We want it to be a wine where minerality, acidity and freshness are symbols and expressions of the terroir. A pure wine without make-up.
This wine is the result of selecting the best centenarian plots each year.

RABIGATO

As uvas provêm de uma vinha de solo composto por argila e xisto a uma altitude de 350 metros perto do rio Tua.
A fermentação é espontânea por leveduras indígenas e termina em barricas novas e usadas de Carvalho Francês (floresta de Bertrange). Pretendemos que seja um vinho onde a mineralidade, a untosidade, a acidez e a frescura sejam símbolos e expressão deste singular terroir e desta incrível casta autóctone do Douro.
Um vinho puro e sem maquilhagem.
