The Vineyards: The fruit for Portal da Calçada was hand harvested at the perfect maturation point from several parcels of our Estates, located just outside of our wine cellar. The sun exposition of such parcels, disposed in terraces made out exclusively of granitic soils surrounding water courses, reveal the potential and diversity of the Amarante sub-region.

The strict following of these principals is certified by an an independent entity (SATIVA) recognized by the Portuguese State.
