PROPOSTA 1 DE 2 · The flavours of Cabeceiras

One name, several lands

Cabeceiras · Vine vocabulary

A partridge’s foot, but in the vineyard

The Vinho Verde wine commission identifies Pé de Perdiz as a name for Arinto in Cabeceiras de Basto. It also mentions Pedernã in the region and Perdigão in Mondim. Knowing these names helps when listening to vineyard stories: a local name does not, by itself, mean a different grape variety. The CVRVV profile adds large, compact bunches with small berries. The variety is used both in wines made only from Arinto and in blends of white grape varieties. Traditional name, grape appearance and wine composition are three different ways into the same story.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Write Arinto in the center of a leaf and connect it to Pé de Pardiz, Pedernã and Perdigão.
  2. Add to each name the territory referred to in this reading. Then make a second group for Borraçal, Bogalhal and Eye of Frog.
  3. If you pick up a name in a conversation, write down who uses it and where.

An activity to try at your own pace, without collecting specimens.

PROPOSTA 2 DE 2 · Travel through time

Try observing

Gondiães and Vilar de Cunhas · memory and landscape

A house with three granaries

At Casa de Chouzas, three 19th-century granaries stand alongside the manor house highlighted by the municipality. The group connects two functions: living and storing the harvest. Rather than looking only at the main house, it is worth recognising the importance of buildings supporting agriculture. The introduction to Vilar de Cunhas places this heritage in a landscape of plateau and mountain, shaped by farming and pastoralism. House and granaries can be read in that working context, although the source does not detail each property’s production. The house’s dating is less firm: the municipality presents it as perhaps 19th-century, while assigning the granaries to the 19th century. That difference should remain visible. The photograph accompanying the reading shows the portal, not the three granaries. The heritage reference does not confirm access to the group.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Look at the photo of the portal and list only the elements you can see.
  2. Compared to the three granaries mentioned in the text: what depends on the written description?
  3. Imagine a caption that distinguishes the frame of the photograph from the remaining patrimonial set.
