Vineyard of Peneireiros

This name, which designates the place where Quinta da Raza is located, is also the name of a bird, a small falcon, that still flies over the skies of our region today. In essence, just as the countless pigeons of yesteryear served to name the Pombeiros vineyard, the countless falcons or “peneireiros” also fulfilled this beautiful purpose of naming these vineyards. Composed of three irregularly shaped plots, in the Vineyard of Peneireiros, we find three grape varieties: Vinhão, Azal, and Arinto, regionally also known as Pedernã.
