Fernao Pires is one of the most planted white grape varieties inPortugal. It is grown in the centre and south areas, especially inBairrada, Estremadura, Ribatejo and Setúbal.
Fernao Pires is very early-ripening, which makes it one of thefirst Portuguese grape varieties to be harvested. Besides, as it isvery sensitive to frost, it develops better in fertile soils oftemperate or hot climate.
This grape variety has good alcohol content and low or mediumacidity, which makes the wines produced with Fernao Pires haveintense floral aromas.
