The Fonseca vineyard stretches across the sunny terraces of the Douro Valley, where the schist provides ideal drainage and contributes to the concentration of aromas. The vines, some several decades old, are cultivated using environmentally friendly practices that promote biodiversity. climat The Mediterranean climate, with its hot, dry summers and mild winters, allows the grapes to reach optimal ripeness. Each plot is carefully selected to produce wines of exceptional quality, revealing the richness and diversity of the Douro terroir.
