The wine region of Torres Vedras
Portuguese DOC north-west of Lisbon, the region's largest vineyard (Atlantic climate, clay-limestone soils).

Arinto and Vital complement it with freshness. Castelão is the red king with Aragonez, Tinta Miúda and Touriga Nacional: full-bodied with ripe black fruits, spices and firm tannins, excellent for ageing.
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: Ancestral method
A method of making certain sparkling wines such as blanquette de Limoux, sparkling gaillac or clairette de Die, which consists of a second fermentation in the bottle based on natural sugars and yeasts naturally brought by the grapes (unlike the méthode champenoise, which requires the addition of tirage liquor).
