- WINEMAKER: Jorge Serôdio Borges and Sandra Tavares da Silva
- FARMING: Organic (conversion in progress)

- TERROIR: Vineyards are planted at 450–600 meters altitude on granite soils with sandy textures, influenced by the cool climate of the Serra da Estrela mountain range.
- VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested grapes are fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel and concrete vats. Gentle extraction techniques preserve the purity of fruit.
