Waar serveer je ’m bij?
Three times the same juice, three times a different vessel: a third ferments and ages in steel, a third in chestnut wood, a third in a concrete egg. Chestnut is not an ordinary barrel — it gives less tannin and a different, nuttier tone than oak — and that egg keeps the wine moving without adding anything to it. Together they give an Alvarinho that changes from layer to layer while you drink it: complexity ten against a weight of six, which occurs almost nowhere in our entire white range.

In 1982, the Cerdeira family was the first to rejoin the tradition of quality wines based on the local Alvarinho grape. João Antonio Cerdeira planted the first vines to that end in 1974, and it is those old vines that still provide the grapes for the top cuvée 'Primeiras Vinhas' today.
