| Region | Península de Setúbal |
| Grapes | Arinto and Antão Vaz |
| Soil | Located on the Alentejo coast, in the extreme south of the Península de Setúbal demarcated region, next to the village of Vale das Éguas and about 17 km from Santiago do Cacém – Alentejo Coast. This vineyard is called Casa Branca due to the existence of a salt rock that exists in the subsoil of this plot. This salt rock is related to the past between the Earth and the Atlantic. |
| Winemaking | The grapes are selected and picked by hand. Vinification maintains a balance between winegrowing traditions and new technologies, knowledge and trends. This white wine was in contact with the skins for 3 days. Alcoholic fermentation was carried out with indigenous yeasts. During alcoholic fermentation the must undergoes battonage until the producer and oenologist consider it sufficient. This white wine is normally aged in vats for 12-18 months, and may naturally undergo malolactic fermentation due to its low sulphur content and because it is in contact with fine lees and some thick lees. |
| Aging | 12 months in stainless steel vats. |

| Volume | Alcohol by Volume: 11% |
| Temperature | 10ºC - 12ºC |

Herdade do Cebolal is located on the Costa Alentejana, at the southern end of the demarcated region of the Peninsula Setúbal, near the village of Vale das Éguas, about 17 kilometers from Santiago do Cacém and 10 kilometers from the Atlantic.
The estate has been in the family for over a century. The vineyards of the estate are situated on the Costa Alentejana, ten kilometers from the sea.
The mild climate with sunny days and cool nights influences the maturation of the grapes and the soil rich in shale and limestone gives it unique characteristics. Work on the vineyard has been very careful with minimal irrigation, looking for quality grapes. The defoliation in the area of the bunches for a better sun exposure south / west guarantees a suitable maturation.
