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: Liquid
Sweet wine containing more than 50 grams of residual sugar per liter. Sweet wines are made from grapes often affected by botrytis cinerea and concentrated either by passerillage (drying of the grapes on the vine stock), or after the harvest (straw wines), or by the cold (ice wines).
