The grapes come from the single-vineyard site Chão dos Eremitas. The vines are located near the Serra d’Ossa; the site is described as having granite-like soils with a limestone-rich, slightly alkaline structure. The wine undergoes natural fermentation without added sulphites during fermentation, followed by ageing on the fine lees in old French wooden casks. In the glass it shows white flowers, orange and peach, along with plenty of body, phenolic structure and a pronounced, juicy texture. This historic variety, which has almost disappeared in Portugal, is a distinctive feature of the vintage.
