Casa do JOA is rooted in the rugged landscape of Alto Trás-os-Montes, where the harsh winters and scorching sun force the land to yield its best to the vines. This unique winery balances tradition and innovation, blending generations of knowledge with modern winemaking practices. Situated in Aldeia da Parada, the heart and soul of Casa do JOA, this village embodies the timeless connection between the land and its people, producing the only wine in the region.
The winery is the realization of Jorge Ortega Afonso’s dream to return to his roots and transform an old barn into a state-of-the-art winery. Casa do JOA represents more than just winemaking—it is a labor of love that merges past and future, bringing together traditional methods with cutting-edge techniques. Here, the passion for wine is deeply intertwined with the sense of home and belonging.
