WINE MASTERCLASS

Altitude & Old Vines – The Unique Terroir of Trás-os-Montes

As part of the IMMC13 Social Program, we are delighted to invite our participants to an exclusive FREE Wine Masterclass, offering a sensory journey through the wines and winemaking heritage of the Trás-os-Montes region. 

Trás-os-Montes is a region of contrasts. Old vines planted at high altitude, where the extreme climate and the soils produce wines with character. Each wine is a reflection of its terroir, of the diversity of native grape varieties, and of the millenary tradition that remains alive in the rock-hewn wine presses and the old vineyards. We invite you to discover the identity of Trás-os-Montes, exploring how altitude, native grape varieties, and old vines combine to create unique wines, with elegance, freshness, and identity.
