Casa de Vila Nova operates in Porto, the storied region of Northern Portugal's Duriense valley. The winery produces white wines from indigenous varieties—Avesso and Alvarinho—that capture the mineral precision and aromatic lift characteristic of the region's Atlantic-influenced terroir. Its red offering, Visconde de Garcez Douro Tinto, blends Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Nacional, the classic triumvirate of Douro reds, into a structured wine. The Avesso has earned a 90-point average from prestige critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Wine Enthusiast. The Alvarinho and Visconde de Garcez follow at 88.8 and 88.0 points respectively, reflecting consistent critical attention to the house's portfolio. Casa de Vila Nova's work sits within Porto's tradition of balancing white freshness and red depth, anchored in varieties that define the Duriense.
