It’s part of the traditional varieties of the Douro and Dão regions, although it is presumably from Douro where it exhibits greater genetic variability. It has very small bunches coated by a thick and dense skin that ensures adequate resistance to the attacks of mildew and rottenness. The mouth reveals the greatness of a variety perfectly balanced between tannins, acidity and sugar, harsh in the tannins, materializing in floral wines, dense, solid and long-lasting.
