JOA Wine is not only made from centuries-old vineyards with more than twenty different grape varieties. It is the harsh winters and the merciless sun of the Alto Transmontano that, without giving a break to the land, compel it to free from shale the best they have to offer our grapes. From the grapes to the only wine produced in this region, there is a distance between tradition and innovation. Between the knowledge of generations and the best oenological practices of the last generation. Between the future and the memory preserved in the people of Aldeia de Parada: heart, cradle and soul of Casa do Joa. It is for all these reasons that a JOA wine is much more than a wine. It is a living memory of this land and a genuine declaration of our Love on Alto.
This is a great Rosé different from the “normal” rosés, with reserve characteristics, offering a reddish color and complex and complete aromas.
