“When I create my wines I look for the purity of the origins, without makeup.”

– José Madeira Afonso

The landscape of Beira Interior is dramatic and uninhabited, the climate demanding, the granite soils and the high altitudes. The thermal amplitudes are intense, with negative temperatures in winter and very hot and dry summers. The plots are located in the Pinhel sub-region and our wines are DOC Beira Interior. From the grapes of this terroir, we seek to create wines that are the true expression of the best in the region. Hence, native varieties are privileged, such as Fonte Cal, Siria, Rufete, Baga, Touriga Nacional, among others, as they are those that best adapt to the characteristics of the region. But this terroir allowed us to creatively explore the adaptation of other varieties, some international. Varieties such as Chardonnay or Riesling managed to surprise, due to the unique expression they revealed from this terroir, which is also unique.
