Vineyard of Lamelas

This is undoubtedly the most unique and distinctive vineyard at Quinta da Raza. Firstly, the soil, mostly schist, requires greater resilience from the plants. Indeed, the name 'Lamelas' comes from the way this metamorphic rock breaks particularly in this location, into small, elongated blades or bladelets. Another particularly distinctive attribute is the terraced arrangement, with each terrace having its corresponding own "bardo" (trellis). We can also highlight the panoramic aspect, as from the summit, theres is a panoramic view of the entire region, with the Farinha Mountain standing out. In its extension, Gouveio grapes grow and ripen - a variety for which Quinta da Raza is the only proud producer in the entire Vinhos Verdes region - accompanied by Avesso and Azal.
