In the conclusion of our series, we explore the wine regions of Lisbon, Tejo, and the Setúbal Peninsula, each with its unique characteristics and exceptional wines.
Lisbon: Diversity by the Sea
The Lisbon region, with its rolling hills along the Atlantic coast, is one of the most productive and heterogeneous in Portugal. The vineyards near the coast are influenced by the Atlantic climate, while those further inland benefit from a Mediterranean climate. Sub-regions such as Bucelas, Colares, and Carcavelos stand out, producing fresh white wines and elegant reds.
Tejo: Tradition and Modernity
Tejo, known as the land of vineyards and olive groves, is a region rich in wine history and tradition. With six distinct sub-regions, Tejo offers everything from robust red wines to aromatic whites, reflecting the diversity of terroirs along the river that gives the region its name.
Setúbal Peninsula: The Birthplace of Moscatel
The Setúbal Peninsula is famous for Moscatel de Setúbal, a fortified wine with a great national and international reputation. The region varies between flat areas and the mountainous landscape of the Serra da Arrábida, creating ideal conditions for producing wines with a rich palette of flavors.
We hope you enjoyed this journey through the wine regions of Portugal. Each region has its own identity and contributes to the rich and diverse tapestry of Portuguese wines. We invite you to continue exploring, tasting, and celebrating the winemaking of this incredible country.
