The Síria variety has a particular talent for capturing the land where it grows. On Herdade do Escrivão's sandy schist soils, with good southern sun exposure and Beira Interior's altitude, this white expresses exactly that: aromas that are both very strong and delicate, with notes of white fruit and citrus that linger on the nose and promise what the palate will confirm.

Síria: Beira Interior's White Variety

Síria is one of the most characteristic white varieties of inland Portugal, especially well suited to Beira Interior's continental climate and schist soils. At Herdade do Escrivão, where production follows organic farming principles in conversion to Demeter certification, Síria finds ideal conditions to express freshness, minerality and aromatic complexity. The vineyard covers 4.5 hectares, with PT-BIO-02 certified production and over 20 years of commitment to farming with no synthetic chemicals.

What You'll Find in the Glass

A bright citrine colour. On the nose, aromas that are very strong and delicate: ripe white fruit, fresh citrus and a subtle minerality that comes from the schist soils. On the palate, it's an elegant white, with well-balanced natural acidity, good volume and a clean, lasting finish. A wine that surprises with its intensity and wins you over with its elegance.

Territory and Production

Made and bottled at Herdade do Escrivão, in Castelo Branco, Beira Interior, under the leadership of viticulturist Miguel Valente and winemaker João Salavessa. The 80-hectare estate brings together wine, biodiversity, gastronomy and sustainability in a coherent, long-term project, within the Naturtejo Geopark territory.

Straight from granite soils, at an average altitude of 500 metres, where low-fertility soils force the vines to work slowly, comes this DOC white from Quinta dos Termos. The slow ripening driven by Beira Interior's continental climate does the rest: a fresh, balanced wine, genuinely tied to its territory.

Three Grape Varieties, One Unique Terroir

The blend brings together Síria, Fonte Cal and Arinto, three traditional Beira Interior varieties that express the character of the granite soils well. Full ageing in stainless steel tanks preserves the primary aromas and natural freshness of the grapes, with no interference from wood. The result is a clean, lively white with a clear sense of place.

What You'll Find in the Glass

A citrine colour with greenish hints, typical of youth and freshness. On the nose, primary aromas of white fruit and florals, with the subtle minerality of the Beira granite. On the palate, natural acidity gives it liveliness and length, with an elegant, harmonious taste that invites another sip.

Responsible Production

Quinta dos Termos produces under Integrated Production certification by Sativa, which guarantees sustainable farming practices and respect for the local ecosystem. A choice that values the territory and native resources of Beira Interior.

Herdade do Escrivão chose Touriga Nacional for its rosé, and the choice says a lot about who they are. A variety normally associated with great Portuguese reds, here vinified as rosé to reveal a different side: very lively, intense aromas, a natural freshness from Beira Interior's sandy schist soils, and the elegance only a terroir worked with patience and conviction can give.

Touriga Nacional as Rosé: a Choice with Character

Herdade do Escrivão's vineyard covers 4.5 hectares on sandy schist soils, with good sun exposure and no history of disease, in Beira Interior. Production follows organic farming principles, in conversion to Demeter certification, deepening the biodynamic path the estate began in 2019. Touriga Nacional, in this context, expresses itself with aromatic generosity and a natural acidity that defines this rosé's profile.

What You'll Find in the Glass

A lively rosé colour. On the nose, very lively, intense aromas, with fresh red fruit and a floral profile characteristic of Touriga Nacional.

Some rosés surprise you. This one from Quinta dos Termos is one of them. The combination of Syrah and Baga, two grape varieties with distinct personalities, results in a wine with real character: aromatic, fresh and with a vibrant acidity that makes it a versatile, memorable food partner.

Syrah and Baga: an Unlikely Meeting, a Unique Result

Syrah brings structure and aromatic exoticism, notes usually associated with warm-climate reds. Baga answers with the lively acidity and freshness that characterise this traditional Portuguese variety. Together, they create a dry rosé with layers and personality, well beyond an everyday rosé. Full ageing in stainless steel tanks preserves varietal purity and territorial expression with no interference from wood.
