“It’s all about the grapes”
Breeding good grapes, picking them at the right time and winemaking with little intervention so as to obtain the wines that Mira do Ó believes that best mirror the “terroir”. 
In the Dão region, the vineyards are located in São João de Lourosa. It is a plateau at 500 meters of altitude on the right bank of the Dão River, with Serra do Caramulo to the northwest and Serra da Estrela to the southeast as the main landscape and climatic influences. Here the bed rock is granite as in most of the region but with a great richness of clay that allows a great balance of the vineyards, especially in the drier years and also to get wines with a richer texture and depth.
