How we make our wine.

Five chapters, eighteen moments. Year after year, it all begins again.

Vine

There are 20.9 hectares of planted vineyard, and four of them are over sixty years old.

A tasting glass held against the light
The final decision

The blend is born at the tasting table.

A wine can bring together different plots, vats and barrels. Carloto Magalhães and Paulo Schreck taste every lot, compare what each contributes and only then decide the final wine.

Our standard

Five things we do not do

  1. 01Buy grapes outside the estate to increase production.
  2. 02Use oak as make-up to hide the fruit.
  3. 03Bottle a wine simply because the calendar says so.
  4. 04Repeat a recipe when the year asks for another decision.
  5. 05Make Vinha da Migalha when the harvest is not good enough.
The finished Palato do Côa bottle

In the end, what remains is what the estate gave.

Every bottle carries estate-grown grapes, a year of work and the decisions made in the vineyard, the winery and at the tasting table.
