The municipality of Esposende Demarcated Region of Green Wine and the sub-region Cávado (Esposende, Barcelos, Braga, Vila Verde, Amares and Terras do Bouro) reveals some peculiarities which are worth to metion.
It is important to reaffirm the originality of Vinho Verde in Portugal and world wine scene. The Vinho Verde in fact occupies a very special and unique place in the context of Portuguese wines. Since the XVIII century that the Portuguese wines are classified in Green and Mature, which prove the genuineness of the inimitable wine from this land of Entre Douro and Minho.
It is time to say what has the Vinho Verde, which distinguishes them from the others.
The Vinho Verde is a natural reflection of the peculiarities of the geographical area between the sea and the mountains. It has an intimate connection of natural factors - topography, soil and unique a climate – and the way portuguesse are. It is doubtless the most regional portrays of the Portuguese of the North West part of the country.
For many people it is amazing wine production in a county that spreads along the refreshing waters of the Atlantic Ocean. However, there are natural and human reasons that explain this "miracle" of wine at the gate of the sea.
