A concept for wines that emerge. Through unique conditions, and in unique years. Through a constant unsettlement, a challenge to every norm. You could call them “collection wines”, but they’re mostly wines to be found. And above all, discovered.

A new return to our deepest roots: the ancestral winemaking of grape varieties found in the historic lots of old vines. In 2019 we chose to create a Tinta Pinheira varietal. For its distinguishing character, famous for its aromatic delicacy and structure, but also for the history that this unique variety has been able to write in our past.
