The Pêra-Manca brand dates from the 15th century and is linked to the discovery of Brazil by Portugal.

Grapes: 55% Arinto, 45% Antao Vaz

After the harvest, the grapes are fermented at a controlled temperature of 16 ° C in stainless steel tanks and partly in French oak barrels. Then the wine matures on the wine lees - sediment in wine that forms after fermentation or after a certain time of storage also called lees - another 12 months with battonage - is a technique used in making wine. In the barrel the must on which a layer of yeast cells naturally grows during and after the alcoholic fermentation is stirred. The layer of yeast on the surface is stirred with sticks or rods (French: "batons") by the must, which is slowly changing into young wine. This gives the wine more flavor. The technique is also used in champagne.  Eventually, the wine stays in the bottle for another 6 months before it arrives on the market.
