Vinho Verde

Since 1908, the Vinho Verde region, encompassing nine sub-regions -Monção/Melgaço, Lima, Cávado, Ave, Basto, Sousa, Amarante, Baião, Paiva - has been a key player in wine production within the historic Entre-Douro-e-Minho province. The climate, shaped by Atlantic winds, yields moderate temperatures, limited sunlight, and ample rainfall - ideal for viticulture. Geologically, the region is predominantly granitic, with two narrow tracks - a Silurian path and a schist one - crossing in a NW-SE direction, contributing to the unique terroir that influences the character of the wines produced here.
