The estate occupies the banks of the Corgo, a tributary of the Douro, close to Peso da Régua. Its vines cling to schist terraces between 70 and 400 metres above sea level and include some ten hectares of old vines planted between the 1920s and 1950s, guardians of local tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from old vineyards where Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional and other Douro varieties grow together. As with all Port, fermentation is stopped by the addition of grape spirit to retain the fruit's natural sweetness. This tawny then blends several wines with an average age of forty years, all patiently aged in very old 600-litre oak casks.

Located on the banks of the Corgo, near its confluence with the Douro and the town of Peso da Régua, the vineyard rises in schist terraces between 70 and 400 metres above sea level.

The blend then brings together several wines with an average age of fifty years, aged in 600-litre oak casks.
