A noble grape variety, native to the region, planted in the characteristic sandy, phylloxera-free soils, less than 1 km from the Atlantic coast and at an average altitude of 110 m.
Strong Atlantic influence, with summers of moderate temperatures and strong, salty winds. The presence of the Serra de Sintra, to the south, leads to the formation of fog and the maintenance of high relative humidity.

Winemaking
Harvest at the end of September. This wine is the result of careful vinification using the classic “tanning” process, with 50% destemming, fermentation in stainless steel tanks with temperature control
(26º-28ºC) and careful reassembly. The ageing process took place over 5 years, with the wine first going through large vats of exotic woods, followed by small oak barrels and, finally, ageing in tanks and bottles.

Recommended Gastronomy
It goes very well with roasts of meat, game and mushrooms. It benefits from prior opening of the bottle and/or decanting and should be served at a temperature of 18º-19ºC.
