It is the most easterly and the most arid of the Douro valleys sub-regions: the average rainfall here is as low as 400 millimetres a year, and the average temperatures are 3ºC higher than the Baixo Corgo.

The wine is aged for some 18 months in the Quinta's oak vats, before bottling in the spring of its second year.
