Influenced by the orographic characteristics and the fluvial network. High yearly rain levels
and irregular distribution along the year -concentrated in Winter and Spring. The higher temperatures occur at
the same time as the lowest precipitation-hot and dry end of Spring and Summer-and the lower temperatures
with the highest precipitation cold and rainy Winters. Mild climate. It can be considered a terroir for fresh-
ness-the Atlantic Terroir. Regarding the terrain, the region has a rather irregular topography, characterized by a
compact valley’s system combined with the fluvial network, developing from the seaside to the inland.
VINHO VERDE WINE REGION A reference in the Vinho Verde region for the excellence of its carefully treat-
ed 40 acres of vineyard. The varietals planted are mainly Azal, Arinto, Loureiro and Trajadura with an average
age of 20 years old. The Demarcated Region of Vinho Verde is located in the northwest of Portugal in
an area traditionally known as “Entre Douroe Minho.” Its limits are the Minho River in the North
(border with Galicia), the mountainous areas in the East and South, forming the natural
border between the Atlantic Entre Douro Minho and the Mediterranean in land
regions and the Atlantic Ocean as its western limit. It’s a unique DOC re-
gion comparable only to Porto or Champagne regions. The Vinho
Verde Region has celebrated in 2008 the centenary of its
demarcation (establishment of boundaries).
The “Faisão” (pheasant) is native to Asia, but was brought to Portugal
by merchants in the middle ages. It is an exquisite bird with brightly colored
feathers and unique beauty that gives inspiration to our wines.
