A Tondela estate whose white comes from an interplanted old vineyard at Quinta do Laranjal, with Encruzado, Malvasia, Gouveio, Bical and Cerceal mixed in the rows rather than blocked out.

Why locals love it: A Tondela estate on the western rim that most visitors drive past on the way to the Nelas cluster, with an interplanted white vineyard worth the detour.

Tip: Ask to see the Laranjal plot rather than just taste from it; the interplanting is the whole argument for the wine.

Biodynamic PracticingECOCERTNaturalTondela

Twenty-five hectares of scattered granite parcels at Mouraz, certified by Ecocert since 1996, working with biodynamic preparations since 2006 and a member of La Renaissance des Appellations since 2009.

Tip: Vinifications are done parcel by parcel from interplanted old vines, so the range reads as a map of Mouraz rather than a set of varietals.
