Wine Profile
The contrast between the south and north of Serra da Gardunha gives richness to our wines. The grapes from the south of Gardunha are more concentrated and have a higher alcohol content, resulting in full-bodied wines, with an aroma of ripe fruit and more structured. From the north of Gardunha comes elegance, freshness, and acidity.
