It’s a true paradise near the São Mamede hills.
The owner, João Afonso, is also the winemaker and they have a small production of delicious organic wines and bottling and labelling all their wines on their property. Two of their wines are certified organic and the rest all follow organic agricultural principles with minimal intervention. Fieldwork and cellar work are carried out with absolute respect and in harmony with the environment. The vines are field blend old vines, some up to 80 years old, which make for very interesting and original wines.
