The wines were first made available on the global market in 2005, after a small production in 2004 in the vineyard of Valle de Junco. In 1997 João Barbosa purchased 22 hectares in the Alto Alentejo region of Esperança, Portalegre. In 2000, ten hectares were planted with Syrah, Alicante Bouschet, Aragonês, Trincadeira, Alfrocheiro, Tinta Barroca and Touriga Nacional.

Fermentation is carried out by natural vineyard yeasts. Aged in 225L French Oak barriques for 6 months.
