Chaves wine
Chaves is a Portuguese wine region centered on the town of Chaves in the Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro region.

Its name may still be indicated together with that of Trás-os-Montes, as Trás-os-Montes-Chaves. Located along the Tamega river, the region produces light bodied wines that are similar in style to wines produces in the Douro DOC. Grapes
