In Moimenta, Cavez, the vineyards occupy terraces on the slopes of a sheltered valley. The municipal description connects this landscape to the production of green wine. Looking at the steps on the ground is another way to know the wine culture. The visits to Thursdays and the tastings depend on the conditions of each space.
The municipal guide presents the terraces as a dominant mark of the slopes and also highlights the Casa do Valle and Casa da Ponte. The vineyard does not appear isolated: it is part of a village with built heritage, agriculture and livestock. This framework helps to look beyond the bottle and recognize the work inscribed on the ground.
The landscape, however, does not reveal alone the variety of each plot. To continue, it compares the names of the grapes described in the other readings of Basto with the utensils used in the harvest. They are different clues to know the wine culture.
