About Winery and Wines

Our story

 

CASCA WINES IS A COMPANY FOUNDED BY WINEMAKER HÉLDER CUNHA IN 2008, BORN OUT OF THE NEED HE FELT TO CREATE PORTUGUESE WINES THAT EXPRESS THE TERROIR OF EACH OF PORTUGAL'S DEMARCATED REGIONS.

It was in the micro-region of Colares, the westernmost point of continental Europe, that Hélder Cunha, against all the ocean winds, challenged himself to produce truly unique wines.

The birthplace of the winemaker - Cascais - inspired the creation of the name and the brands that express the company's portfolio of wines. Today, with more than 10 years of history, more than 35 markets around the world, with a series of national and international awards and with wines produced in almost all regions of Portugal, Casca Wines is the national leader in selling wines with Organic and Vegane certification continues to produce unique wines.

Our Mission and Values

 

WE TAKE THE PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABILITY SERIOUSLY, IN ORDER TO GET THE BEST OUT OF THE LAND NOW, BUT ALWAYS WITH AN EYE TO THE FUTURE

We value and respect traditions, working closely with the winemakers, learning from them and combining the know-how of a modern winemaking company. We believe that every wine should convey the personality of the vineyard and, consequently, of its grower. We extract all the flavors and intensity that the grapes can reveal, so that they are part of a larger balance.

 

Enology Philosophy

 

IN THE WINES BARK WE SEEK OUT THE BEST GROWERS, WITH THE BEST GRAPES, IN EACH OF THE REGIONS. THIS IS THE STARTING POINT TO ENSURE THAT EACH WINE WE PRODUCE CARRIES THE ESSENCE OF THE PLACE AND VINEYARD WHERE THE GRAPES ARE GROWN

Vinification - Temperature, air, and time are our tools;
A smooth extraction - Handcrafted wines with rich and vibrant flavors, but with a smooth texture;

Little intervention - The best grapes are fermented with wild yeasts, which require constant attention, but provide a sublime complexity to the wines; Blend to perfection - Each small lot enriches the final composition;
Exploring every detail - Enjoying the unexpected; Vinification of small batches - Character takes time. After harvest, each vineyard plot gets its own tank and waits separately until blending.
