The wine region of Península de Setúbal
Portuguese peninsula south of Lisbon between the Tagus and Sado estuaries. World-renowned speciality: Moscatel de Setúbal, a golden fortified sweet wine with signature notes of candied orange, dried apricot, honey, fig, currant and sweet spices, long ageing — the rare Roxo version has more floral notes. Also fruity, supple Castelão reds (64%) (blackberry, plum), perfumed Touriga Nacional. Oceanic climate.
The word of the wine: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
