ALENTEJO

A land where culture and tradition go hand in hand. There is something profoundly reinvigorating and redeemer in Alentejo, in the endless space, the vastness of the plains with large oak trees, the wide sky in a spotless blue, the infinite horizon and, obviously, in its people, the quiet people, honest and proud of Alentejo.

Demarcated region in 1988, it is divided into eight sub-regions: Reguengos, Borba, Redondo, Vidigueira, Évora, Granja-Amareleja, Portalegre and Moura.

The most important white grape varieties of the region are the Roupeiro, Antão Vaz and Arinto. Regarding the red varieties, stresses the importance of Trincadeira, Aragonez, Castelão and Alicante Bouschet (French variety). White wines from Alentejo DOC are generally mild, slightly acid and with aromas of tropical fruits. The reds are full-bodied, rich in tannins and with aromas of wild and red berries.
