"In the subregion of Ave, vineyards are planted all over the watershed of the Ave River, a prominent area quite irregular and with low altitude, so it is more exposed to sea winds.

Arinto and Loureiro are planted throughout the region, grape varieties suitable for this type of mild climate, owing to their average maturity, ripening neither early nor late. Trajadura is also considered, which matures early and is softer, perfectly completing a blend with Arinto and Loureiro."
