Vineyard With an extension of 326 ha, exclusively purposed for grape production and transformation, started in 2002 the plantation of 227 ha of continual vineyard, and was finished in 2005, year of our first harvest. To provide water independence from regional natural resources, a rainwater dam and artificial storage pond were built to source our drop irrigation system. Nine red grapes varieties - Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Aragonez, Pinot Noir, Grenache and Tinta Caiada - and four white grapes varieties - Arinto, Antão Vaz, Perrum and Verdelho - were planted.
