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: Cellar master
The cellar master is the technical manager of a winery (usually a professional oenologist), who presides over and oversees the wine-making process and its maturation. Unlike an oenologist in a wine laboratory, who intervenes on an ad hoc basis to assist the winemaker, the cellar master is part of the estate's technical team.
