This region produces white, red and rose wines, as well natural sparkling wines of great quality, thanks to the variety of grapes, which have allowed the constant discovery of new flavors and aromas.

The white predominant grape varieties are Arinto, Fonte Cal, Malvasia Fina, Rabo de Ovelha e Síria, while in the reds are Bastardo, Marufo, Rufete, Tinta Roriz e Touriga Nacional, with the regular presence of very old vineyards.
