In 2020, when we started the PistaWines project, we had the conviction of providing the plants with the best development conditions.
We were far from imagining that after planting in May 2021, it would be possible for us to carry out the first harvest in 2022. The truth is that the vines gave us back the love we gave them and today we can present the first harvest of Tapada da Fonte.
Today we already have two harvests done and the result could not be more gratifying!
