The soil
The soil is mainly granite, as in most of the Region.
White wines usually have fruity aromas and a higher alcohol content than the average of the Region.
These are obtained from the Arinto, Azal and Padeira grape varieties, adapted to temperate climates and, therefore, common to almost all of the Vinho Verde Region, but here with an ally that is Avesso, the most characteristic grape of the interior sub-regions.

Intense and structured ranging from elegant to complex
As the young and fresh Vinhos Verdes are joined by more wines of intense and structured character, of all colors, the offer of wines from the Region increases with a palette of flavors ranging from elegant to complex.
From different single varietal Vinhos Verdes, like Alvarinho or Avesso, to Vinhos Verdes from different plots or terroirs, new or old vines, with barrel ageing or from old vintages, the Vinhos Verdes easily accompany an entire menu.
