Curiosity: In the 1990s, it was one of the first vineyards in the Alentejo to use the chip-bud or grafting* technique, which was applied to 20 hectares.
* Grafting technique that involves removing a portion of a branch from the plant, usually in the upper region, and replacing it with a fork containing the desired variety. This technique makes it possible to change the grape variety in a specific part of the vineyard, while keeping the roots and part of the original trunk intact.
