Regions & Terroirs — Portugal, region by region

Portuguese wine regions are not variations of a single landscape. Casca Wines starts from a conviction — that Portugal holds some of the most singular terroirs in the world — and goes to find them where they are. Each wine carries the mark of the place it comes from. These are the lands we work.

Colares — the Atlantic jewel

Sand, sea and ungrafted vines close to two centuries old, among the few in the world never touched by phylloxera. The house’s rarest terroir, and the top of the collection. Ramisco in red, Malvasia in white.

Douro — schist and terraces

The heart of the house in wines of origin. Schist slopes, high-altitude harvests and thermal swings that give the whites tension and the reds structure. From here come the Reserva and colheita Monte Cascas, Single Vineyard parcels and Portie’s Vintage Port.

Beira Interior — granite and altitude

Altitude, granite and cold nights that preserve freshness and acidity. Home of our organic winemaking: 1808 and the artisanal Cascale — talha, skin contact, minimal intervention.

Dão — rare parcels among the mountains

Granite and mountain freshness, one of Portugal’s noblest terroirs for red. One of the sources of the house’s isolated Single Vineyard parcels.

Bairrada — the hundred-year-old vines

Clay and limestone soils and a heritage of hundred-year-old vines that was almost lost. Home of Centenary Vines, 93% Baga, within Fine Wines.

Alentejo — the plain in the sun

Heat, light and ripeness for wines of body and full maturity. The Alentejo enters the house through old-planting field blends and Cascale’s talha expressions.

Lisboa and the Atlantic front — wine of the sea

At the doorstep of Cascais, at continental Europe’s westernmost point, the vine lives off the Atlantic: salt breeze, intense light and cool nights that leave freshness and a saline thread. This is Cabo da Roca’s terroir.

From north to south, the same idea: preserving, valuing and giving a future to Portugal’s terroirs, one at a time.
