The People
Consultant and winemaker Rodrigo Martins started his career with a focus on agronomy and vineyards, before adding winemaking to his belt. Favouring minimal intervention, Rodrigo uses traditional methods including grapes crushed by feet and all wines are fermented with indigenous yeasts.

The Vineyards
Lisboa is one of the country’s most productive winemaking areas and fell under the VR (Vinho Regional) appellation. The vineyards lie on argillaceous limestone hills exposed to the east.
They benefit from a Mediterranean climate with an Atlantic influence well-suited for growing Syrah alongside traditional Portuguese grape variety including Touriga Nacional for reds alongside Verdelho and Arinto for whites.
