The producer
Located in the center of DOC Douro, it is characterized by the presence of 8 terroirs very marked by the mountains, the different altitudes and sun exposures, the schist soils and the characteristic climate of the Douro river valley. In the vineyards were planted dozens of indigenous grape varieties, according to Organic Production and Integrated Production. Olive trees, orange trees, almond trees and Mediterranean forests help maintain the balance of the ecosystem.
