The vines were planted in 1952 on south-facing, clay-limestone slopes near Leiria. The field blend is fermented in an open wooden vat and macerated for twelve days; the wine then matures for 20 months in 600-litre casks and a further three and a half years in bottle. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts. The style is bright and distinctive, with fresh acidity, pronounced tannic structure and a rather slender to medium body. The unusual combination of predominantly Baga and white grapes is a distinctive feature of the vintage.
