The House of Vila Nova - fifth and company - remain in the family until today, being the current partners brothers Bernardo, Luísa, Sofia and Filipe.
The Vila Nova House is located in the sub-region of Sousa, Demarcated Region of Vinhos Verdes. Known for the region of Entre-Douro-e-Minho, it is influenced by its exposure to the sea winds coming from the Atlantic. Soils, microclimate, characteristic grape varieties and a unique wine culture distinguish it from all other regions of the world. The House of Vila Nova shares these characteristics with the demarcated region, guaranteeing a production of green wine of origin and quality. For this, it relies on the production of its vineyards and grapes from other producers in the region, subject to careful selection and high quality control.
Casa de Vila Nova is positioned in the Vinho Verde market as a producer that combines tradition and experience of its founders, the vibrancy and innovation of a new generation.
Its mission is to offer the market wines that are young and fresh and to provide a valid and competitive set of products to its customers.
