Schist soils with slopes facing the Varosa and Douro rivers.

In the weeks leading up to the harvest, careful monitoring of the grapes’ ripeness is carried out through sensory and physico-chemical analyses. The best grapes are selected at harvest, and transport to the winery is done in 20 kg boxes. Upon arrival at the winery, a more detailed selection is performed on a sorting belt. After passing through the belt, the grapes are pressed in a pneumatic press, with only the juice obtained from gentle pressing used for the fermentation of this white wine. This juice is clarified by static decantation before alcoholic fermentation begins in stainless-steel tanks under controlled temperature (15 °C).
