Távora-Varosa: A Sparkling Gem in the Heights

Welcome to the enchanting Távora-Varosa wine region, a hidden valley nestled in the Northeast of the Dão region and bordered by the Douro region. Spanning 3000 hectares across municipalities like Lamego, Tarouca, Moimenta da Beira, and more, this small region stands tall at high altitude, offering a distinctive terroir that sets it apart.

Távora-Varosa's vineyards flourish on sand clay granite soils, characterized by their lightness and low water retention capacity. Positioned between 500 and 800 meters of altitude, the vineyards benefit from a continental climate, featuring hot and dry summers and long cold winters. This unique combination allows grapes to achieve a balanced ripening, resulting in wines of exceptional quality.

Sparkling Legacy: A Tradition Since the 17th Century

Delve into the rich history of sparkling wine production in Távora-Varosa, a tradition dating back to 1678 when Cister monks first introduced the art. In 1989, the region achieved the prestigious distinction of becoming the first national wine region demarcated for the production of PDO sparkling wine. Experience the allure of Távora-Varosa sparkling wines – both red and white – characterized by fine and persistent bubbles. The wines, typically dry (Brut), showcase the mastery of craftsmanship honed over centuries.
