Estate Bottled Vinho Verde - Wine Tourism
There was a relative of ours that every time he visited us, he asked us for a glass,
went to the spring water in front of the chapel, drank and said
"Home where there is good water there is good wine..." followed by the tasting of it.
Casa do Valle is near the legendary Cavez Bridge, a place often mentioned in the work of the famous portuguese 19th century writer Camilo Castelo Branco, and spreads out, protected by the mountain ranges of Barroso and Alvao, along the hillsides of the river Tâmega.
Wine production at Casa do Valle, property since many generations of the Sousa Botelho family, dates back to the 18th century.
The excellent exposure of the vines in this estate, located in the Basto sub-region, along with a carefull selection of grape varieties and winemaking processes, originates wines of recognized quality.

New for 2009 was the launch of the Casa do Valle Grande Escolha, to celebrate the 20 years of the first bottling under this brand. This wine is the result of continuous investment in recent years in two key areas: viticulture - increase in area under vines, plantation of new grape varieties, improvement of the care of each vine; and Oenology - the introduction of new oenological practices in winemaking and improved techniques in the cellar.
