Mirabilis is made with grapes from small centenary vines where Viosinho and Gouveio predominate, but also a wide range of other varieties with very little production, which are almost non-existent in the region. Small, tight bunches and simple berries mean that the production per hectare does not exceed 2300 kg, in soils with an altitude of more than 500 meters, geologically classified as schist/granitic transition soils, in the parishes of Vilar de Maçada, Cabeda, Tabuaço and Candedo. They give the musts a sublime genuineness, where freshness and aroma are naturally accentuated. The wood selected is purposely from second and third year, only a small percentage of new wood, so as not to mark and better slowly integrate the intense fruit, focusing mainly on French and Hungarian oak, resulting in a wine of extreme elegance, where freshness, structure and acidity intertwine.

| Climate | A year marked by an unstable climate but with relatively moderate climatic conditions during the growing season and during the summer, resulted in late ripening of the berries and, consequently, the postponement of the beginning of the harvest when compared to the last 5 years. During the plant's vegetative growth period, the climate was quite unstable, forcing double attention to diseases and pests, essential for the maximum plant growth. The long period of maturation, with moderate temperatures, resulted in very fresh wines, with great aromatic intensity, structured, of great complexity, deep and of high precision. |
