Trás-os-Montes

Trás-os-Montes, located in northeastern Portugal, is a land of contrasts where ancient winemaking traditions meet rugged terrain. The region’s three sub-regions—Chaves, Valpaços, and Planalto Mirandês—each offer unique microclimates and soil compositions that shape their wines. Indigenous grape varieties like Bastardo, Tinta Roriz, and Malvasia Fina yield robust reds and aromatic whites with a distinctive character.

Winemakers here honor centuries-old practices while integrating sustainable approaches, such as organic farming and traditional granite lagar fermentation. This blend of innovation and heritage ensures that Trás-os-Montes remains an essential part of Portugal’s wine story.
