It were the Phoenicians, in its maritime travels that, reaching the distant lands of the British Isles, have promoted the beginning of the wine production in the mouth of the river Tejo, with vines brought from Syria, thus being responsible for promoting the vine in our country, where it found favorable and natural conditions for its development.
The selection of grape varieties, the enhancement of technology, the knowledge of new designations of origin, together with the effort of the vine producer and the information of the oenologist, were cornerstones to achieve the current situation, putting the Estremadura wines in a high deserved quality level.
The main white grape varieties are: Arinto, Fernão Pires, Malvasia, Seara-Nova and Vital, and the reds are Alicante Bouschet, Aragonez, Castelão, Tinta Miúda, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional and Trincadeira, beyond the contribution of foreign varieties as Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.
