BRANCO DE STA. CRUZ
For years, the slopes of the Bibei River passing through Santa Cruz have captivated us, leading to us recovering some of its most important vineyards. This is an authentic village wine, in both its concept and in its expression. Branco is sourced from our estate-owned vineyards scattered throughout the municipality.
