The House

Founded by Hélder Cunha

Casca Wines was founded in 2008 by the winemaker Hélder Cunha. As an independent Portuguese wine producer, the house grew from a conviction: Portugal holds some of the most singular terroirs in the world — and all they lacked was the ambition they deserve.

Portugal, region by region

We work Portugal region by region, preserving, valuing and giving a future to its terroirs: native grapes, old vines, and the people who keep them alive. From the Atlantic sands of Colares to the schist of the Douro, each wine carries the mark of the place it comes from.

A family of brands

A family of brands, each with its own territory and voice — 1808, Monte Cascas, Cabo da Roca, Cascale and Portie — and, at the summit, the Hélder Cunha signature line. New Wines from the Old World.
