On the way to the Sub-region of Monção and Melgaço is Valença and, just before entering this territory of Alvarinho's origin, we come across Monte do Faro. Two wine territories, Alvarinho and Loureiro, divided by a mountain that allows (to Loureiro) and closes (to Alvarinho) the Atlantic influence.

The Soalheiro Germinar vineyard is over 30 years old and is located on a small plot that produces Loureiro grapes in small quantities, but with a very particular floral aroma, strong acidity and a concentration of mineral flavors different from the usual that make it very gastronomic.
