Discover the grape variety: Teinturier

This grape variety has a very ancient origin and is already mentioned in a specialized agricultural magazine from the Renaissance. Numerous crosses with Teinturier have resulted in new grape varieties that are still cultivated, the best known being the Henri Bouschet alicante..., and others that are less well known and have almost disappeared, such as petit Bouschet, terret-Bouschet (not to be confused with terret-bourret), morrastel-Bouschet, etc. The Teinturier was especially multiplied in the Orléans region.

The wine region of Península de Setúbal

Setúbal Peninsula (also known as Península de Setúbal) is the Portuguese wine region immediately southeast of Lisbon, across the Tejo estuary. The Terroir in the area ranges from sandy coastal plains to the craggy, limestone-rich Serra Arribida hills. The area is known for its Dry red wines made from Castelão, and for its fortified wines and Sweet Moscatel de Setúbal. The wines produced here are made under three titles: two DOCs, Palmela and Setúbal, and one IGP.
