Production

A garnet red Douro wine with lush blackberry & black plum aromas, enhanced by delicate floral notes. Elegant, with a smooth, lingering finish.

The Douro region faces challenges from climate change, particularly water scarcity. To combat this, vineyards employ cover cropping and bioinoculants to improve soil health and water retention.

The NOVATERRA project integrates to reduce pesticide use and enhance sustainability.

 The vineyard combines hand-harvesting with modern soil and crop management strategies, ensuring high-quality grapes while preserving the environment.
