This wine is based on the antao vaz and arinto grape varieties, presenting a citrus colour and persistent, fine and complex fruity aroma. On the palate, it is soft, dry, beautifully complex and balanced.

The wines of Cartuxa are produced in the Alentejo sub-region of Évora and have long been renowned in Portugal. Pêra-Manca has a rich history intertwined with Portuguese history.

Not only were the wines from the "Pêra-Manca region" first mentioned in a letter from Évora Town Council to King João II in 1488, but they were also aboard Pedro Álvares Cabral's ship when he discovered Brazil in 1500. The Pêra-Manca brand was first patented in the 1870s, and the wines gained international recognition when the reds won gold medals in Bordeaux soon after. Following various political changes in Portugal, the arrival of phylloxera, and the death of the vineyard owner in 1920, Pêra-Manca wines were not produced again until 1990 when Cartuxa revived the Pêra-Manca label for its flagship wines.

Today, the wines celebrate native grape varieties and have cult status in Portugal and worldwide. Pêra-Manca white is a blend of Antão Vaz and Arinto, planted in the Eugenio de Almeida Foundation vineyards. When the grapes reach optimal maturity, they are carefully picked, destemmed, and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats and French oak barrels at a controlled temperature of 16°C. The wine then matures on the lees for 12 months with batonnage and an additional 6 months in bottle before release.
