The grapes come from an old, slightly east-facing Antão-Vaz vineyard site in Vidigueira, with infertile, franco-sandy soils of granitic origin. After 24 hours of cold skin contact, the must ferments for 15 days under temperature control in 500-litre French oak casks and a concrete tank; daily bâtonnage follows. Nine months of ageing in both vessels produces a mineral white wine reminiscent of flint, with pronounced freshness, good substance, perceptible creaminess and a structured, long finish. The 2023 vintage was hand-harvested on 17 August 2023.
