were we are
The vines take their personality from the land where they were planted, and of the conditions to which they are exposed. Here at Casa de Vilacetinho, the unique terroir leaves its mark in our vineyards. These conditions, which have developed for many centuries, bestow depthness and character to our grapes.
Currently the vineyards cover an area of 30 hectares, which develop in a slight declining south-facing slope. In a continuous and ordered manner, they adopt the single cordon.
The white grape varietals grown are: Alvarinho, Arinto, Avesso, Azal, Fernão Pires and Loureiro.
The red grape varietals grown are: Azal Tinto (Amaral), Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Vinhão.
The vinification, bottling and storage facilities all have modern and sophisticated equipment, not losing however the respect for the traditional methods, preserved in several moments of the winemaking process.
