Location
The Vinhos Verdes Region
In the northwest of Portugal, between rivers, mountains, and the Atlantic, the Vinho Verde
Region breathes freshness and humidity, shaping aromatic and vibrant wines.
West: Atlantic Ocean
South: Douro River and Freita, Arada, and Montemuro mountains
East: Mountains, river valleys that form channels for ocean breezes to penetrate.
Between hillsides and plains, granite dominates while Atlantic breezes sweep across the region, creating relief and nuances that shape distinctive wines.
A landscape full of
variations.
Topography
Winter: High cloud cover, high humidity, and high precipitation: 1,200 mm/year;
The Atlantic climate brings warm summers and cool nights, balancing water and heat, and defining lively, aromatic wines with unique character.
The climate follows the rhythm of the vineyard.

VINHO VERDE WINES
The history and character of the region
A name born from the landscape
“Vinho Verde” does not describe the wine - it describes the place. A landscape of constant green, where humidity and freshness shape the vibrant, aromatic profile of the wines born here.
A landscape that defines the country
From Minho to Douro, rivers, mountains, and the Atlantic create wines with the region’s character and soul.
The presence of the Atlantic
Atlantic breezes and humidity preserve the vineyard’s freshness, aromas, and rhythm of ripening.
Aveleda, part of the story
Founded in 1870 by Manoel Pedro Guedes, Aveleda grew alongside the Region, valuing native grape varieties and tradition.
