history of winemaking that began at his grandfather's
vineyards in northern Portugal region. Today, his estate is in
the heart of the Serras de Aire and Candeeiros National Park
and is planted with 6 hectares of south-facing vineyards

topsoil over a bed of salt rock about 40m below. The focus is
on small production wines that highlight the unique terroir
and retain their elegance and finesse in the bottle.
