WINE BOX REGIONS

The Beira Interior is the highest wine region in Portugal. Surrounded by majestic mountains, the vineyards flourish between 350 and 750 meters above sea level. Beira Interior wine is the true Portuguese mountain wine: unique, long-lived, and elegant.

But what is the impact of altitude on the quality and profile of the wines?

In a climate of cold, harsh winters and hot, dry summers, altitude plays a crucial role in the ripening of the grapes, mitigating the heat shocks. As we ascend, the atmosphere becomes less dense and atmospheric pressure decreases, resulting in less heat retention. For every 100 meters above sea level, the temperature drops by about 0.65ºC.

Additionally, the lower atmospheric density increases the thermal amplitude between day and night. Cool summer nights are a treasure for winemakers, providing a slow and balanced ripening of the grapes, preserving their natural acidity, and resulting in balanced, fresh, flavorful wines with remarkable gastronomic aptitude.

But Beira Interior is much more than its plateaus and mountains: from the diversity of its sub-regions to the uniqueness of its local grape varieties, passing through the rich heritage of old vineyards and the dedication to environmental preservation, Beira Interior is a true reservoir of viticultural authenticity, where quality and singularity walk hand in hand.

Explore the natural richness and cultural heritage of this distinct wine region and celebrate with a toast to the wines of Beira Interior!

Wine Box composed of 6 bottles of 75cl, in homage to the Beira Interior region

1 bottle of White Wine Beyra Reserve Quartz 2022
Very mineral and citrusy, grapefruit, with a slight smoky touch, vibrant acidity with a structure that hints at good aging potential in the bottle. The soul of the wine lies in the unique combination of the Síria and Fonte Cal grape varieties, from vines planted exclusively on granitic soils with quartz veins, in the Douro River basin at an average altitude of 725 meters.

1 bottle of White Wine Casas Altas Chardonnay Cerca da Rogenda 2023
An elegant, age-worthy wine with a long finish and excellent acidity. “When I create my wines, I seek the purity of origins, without makeup. I aim for the true expression of the land and the grapes. In complete respect for viticulture, the grapes, and nature, and by making the wines with minimal intervention.” – José Madeira Afonso

1 bottle of White Wine Monte Cascas Organic 2022
Monte Cascas Harvest Organic wine presents a lemon color and aromas of pear, nectarine, and yellow apple. On the palate, it is fresh, mineral, with notes of honeysuckle and a persistent finish.

1 bottle of Red Wine Monte Cascas Organic 2021
Monte Cascas Harvest Organic wine presents a red color and aromas of raspberry, licorice, and black cherry. On the palate, black cherry and vanilla are evident. It is a balanced wine, with a firm structure and a persistent finish.

1 bottle of Red Wine Quinta dos Termos Vintage 2020
Very intense red color, with bluish hues, ensuring its longevity. On the nose, it reveals red fruits, with pleasant notes of vanilla. These aromas are confirmed on the palate, with good volume and firm, soft tannins.

A very full-bodied wine, meaty with present and indulgent tannins. The finish is elegant, mineral, and very present in its complexity. Aromas of black fruit, clove, tobacco, and chocolate.
