In the depths of Alentejo, between Évora and Serra d'Ossa, lay thirteen hectares of ecological land where the vine lives alongside the grazing, the mounted and the cork oak, millennial olive trees and where some extremely rare specimens live, such as the black stork, in a privileged habitat. In this unique terroir, at an altitude of 450 meters, that some of the most interesting wines of the region are produced under the experienced hand of Pedro Vasconcelos e Sousa, in a subterranean cellar. 
 
Vinification
The Alvarinho, Arinto and Sauvignon Blanc grapes were harvested during the cool mornings on the Serra d´Ossa slope; They macerated for 24 hours before being destemmed and pressed. Fermentation takes place individually for each variety at low temperatures and the Arinto variety (40% of the lot) in new French oak barrels, with a 4-month aging period with battonnage. After aging in an underground cellar under optimal conditions of humidity and temperature, the batch is finalized, filtered and bottled young, in order to maintain all the fruit and freshness.
