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. Just as the countless pigeons of yesteryear served to name the Pombeiros vineyard, the falcons or "peneireiros" also fulfilled this purpose of naming these vineyards. Composed of three irregularly shaped plots, int the Vineyard of Peneireiros we find three grape varieties: Vinhão, Azal and Arinto, regionally also known as Pedernã.
