The wine region of Tejo
Tejo is a wine region in CentralPortugal which covers the same area as the Ribatejo province, just inland from the major city of Lisbon. The wine appellation's name was changed from Ribatejo in 2009. The entire region may use the Tejo VR (Vinho Regional) designation, similar to the French IGP/Vin de Pays, while some areas produce wines labeled with the higher-level Do Tejo DOC (Denominação de Origem Controlada). A Warm, Dry area, it is also Portugal's only landlocked region – although it is influenced considerably by the Tejo river.
The word of the wine: Animal
Generic smell of aromatic families reminiscent of fur, game, musk, civet, amber and sometimes unpleasant smells of wet hair. The old books on tasting give as an example of animal aroma the belly of hare.
