LISBON REGION
The Lisbon region, formerly known as Estremadura, is located northwest of Lisbon in an area of about 40 km2. The climate is temperate due to the Atlantic influence. Summers are cool and winters are mild.
The cool sea breezes turn the windmills in this charming mountainous region, which includes part of the west coast and the north of Lisbon. The proximity to the Atlantic Ocean allows the production of wines that are distinguished by their minerality, freshness and complexity.
The vineyard area consists of the most traditional Portuguese grape varieties and the most famous international varieties.
RED GRAPE VARIETIES
Touriga Nacional, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Castelão, Touriga Franca.
WHITE GRAPE VARIETIES
Arinto, Fernão Pires, Vital and Chardonnay.
