The wine region of Bucelas
Historic Portuguese DOC 20 km north of Lisbon (Lisboa sub-region), sheltered from Atlantic extremes by the Serra de Montejunto, fossiliferous chalky marl soils called "caeiras". Arinto is the exclusive signature white (≥75%) — one of Portugal's greatest varieties: dry, taut and refined with vibrant notes of citrus, green apple, flowers and a mineral-saline touch, crisp acidity (close to a great Riesling), superb ageing potential. Esgana Cão as a lively complement.
The wine region of Lisboa
Vast coastal IGP north of Lisbon, Portugal's largest producer by volume. Accessible, sun-filled reds: fruity, spicy Castelão, dense Touriga Nacional (black fruit, violet), fleshy Trincadeira, deep Alicante Bouschet. Fresh, mineral whites: straight, lemony Arinto (star of Bucelas), aromatic Fernão Pires, round Vital and Malvasia. Structured reds from Alenquer, sparkling at Óbidos.
The word of the wine: Juice
The juice of wine grapes (intended for wine making) is colourless. It is the anthocyanins contained in the grape skin that colour the juice during maceration.
