One of the most notable features of Quinta Colinas de S\u00e3o Louren\u00e7o is the vineyard, which is worked entirely on dry land. This practice, which requires in-depth knowledge and care of the land, reflects the quinta’s philosophy of working in harmony with nature. Without the use of artificial irrigation, the vines are forced to extend their roots deep into the clay-limestone soils in search of water and nutrients. This natural process of adaptation results in grapes of the highest quality, concentrated in flavour and aroma, which authentically express the character of the terroir. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We get growing seasons in which the grapes ripen, but without losing too much acidity. This is fundamental for the balance of the grape when we’re going to make a great wine, which is the case with Principal or Principal’s Calc\u00e1rio3.
