In 2019, the harvest of two small plots — Cevadeira and Zorreira — at the foothills of the Serra do Mendro gave rise to Myndru. The old vineyard, farmed under dry-farming conditions, is composed of traditional red grape varieties — Alfrocheiro, Tinta Grossa and Trincadeira — with very low yields of just 0.75 kg per vine.
The granitoid soils of the Vidigueira eruptive complex, transitioning into higher-altitude schists, give the wine a very distinctive identity.
