The landscape of Beira Interior is dramatic and sparsely populated, with demanding climate, granitic soils, and high altitudes. Vineyards coexist with meadows, olive groves, and various woods, at an altitude exceeding 650 meters, on granitic soils, with sun exposure from east to southeast, and high thermal amplitudes between day and night. Maturations are traditionally long. A unique terroir that imparts distinctive qualities to Casas Altas wines.

It is from the grapes of this terroir that the Casas Altas Chardonnay Cerca da Rogenda White Wine is born, a true expression of the best the region has to offer.

"When I create my wines, I seek the purity of origins, without makeup. I look for the true expression of the land and grapes. In complete respect for viticulture, grapes, nature, and by crafting the wines with minimal intervention." - José Madeira Afonso

A physician by profession, an oenologist by passion, João Madeira Afonso and his brother, upon inheriting their father's vineyards, felt that it would be sad and lacking in interest to cultivate the vines with care only to deliver the grapes to the cooperative. Thus, the first red wine was born in 1994.

The vineyards are spread across three plots in the Pinhel sub-region: Rogenda, Mortórios, and Quinta do Vale do Ruivo, totaling approximately 16 hectares. Of these, 7 hectares are dedicated to old vines, where traditional Portuguese native grape varieties are mixed, with Baga and Rufete dominating for reds, and Síria, Arinto, and Fonte Cal for whites. Among the others, we find no less important Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Franca, Chardonnay, Riesling, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Verdelho.

It is from the grapes of this terroir that José Madeira Afonso creates DOC Beira Interior wines that are the true expression of the best the region has to offer."

You're Overpaying for French Wine Because You Don't Know About Portugal

Here's what other wine producing countries don't want you to know:

Portugal makes wines just as good, sometimes better, for half the price. Everyone’s been trained to worship the same names: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Napa, Tuscany. But here’s the uncomfortable truth those wine giants don’t want you to hear:

Portugal is making wines just as exceptional, and often better, for a fraction of the price.

And no, this isn’t a budget alternative. It’s a massive blind spot in the wine world. While the rest of the planet keeps pumping out the same 12 internationally famous grape varieties - Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay - Portugal has been doing something radically different.

They’ve quietly preserved more than 250 indigenous grapes you can’t find anywhere else on Earth.

Not copies. Not variations. Completely unique varieties with flavours, aromas, and textures you’ve literally never tasted before.

That £80 Cabernet you just splurged on? Portugal has wines made from grapes you’ve never even heard of… and they’ll absolutely stun you, for £20–£30.

Imagine discovering flavours that feel familiar and completely new.

Imagine drinking wine that feels like a secret... because hardly anyone else knows about it yet.
