Discovering the wine region of Alenquer
DOC in the Lisboa region (most continental sub-region, 50 km from the Atlantic), sheltered by the Serra de Montejunto, temperate climate with dry summers. Touriga Nacional, Aragonez and Castelão signature reds: rich and spiced with black cherry, blackberry, plum, pepper, garrigue and balsamic hints, ripe tannins — one of Lisboa's finest red terroirs. Cabernet, Syrah and Merlot complement. Lively Arinto, aromatic Fernão Pires and Vital in whites.
Discover the grape variety: Tinta Roriz
Structured and deep reds with a dark ruby robe, firm tannins and a dense mouthfeel, with intense aromas of black fruits (blackberry, plum), cherry, tobacco, leather, spices, cocoa and balsamic notes. Good ageing potential. Essential component of the great dry reds of Douro DOC and a pillar of Vintage Port and LBV. Also a star of Alentejo DOC as Aragonez and Dão DOC. The Portuguese synonym for Iberian Tempranillo, signature of the great wines of the Douro.
