Wines
Nothing to hide: grape varieties, places and ways of making wine in the Lisbon region.
An Atlantic region
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "paragraph", "children": [{"type": "text", "value": "The ocean is present in every glass: fresh whites, elegant reds and wines that exist nowhere else \u2014 from ungrafted Ramisco to the fortified wine of Carcavelos."}]}]}
Nine denominations of origin and one geographical indication, an hour from the capital.
The grape varieties
Arinto
The great grape of Bucelas: lively acidity, citrus, whites that age for decades.
Fernão Pires
Aromatic and generous, the most widely planted white grape in the region.
Malvasia de Colares
Atlantic salinity from the sand vineyards; only exists here.
Vital
Fresh and understated, the base of many whites from the West.
Jampal
Rare and almost lost, now revived in signature whites.
Castelão
The historic red of the south of the region: fruit, spice and freshness.
Ramisco
The Colares grape, ungrafted in the sand; tannic and long-lived.
Touriga Nacional
Structure and aroma, increasingly present in hillside reds.
Six families of wine
Whites
Atlantic freshness, from the Arinto of Bucelas to the seaside Malvasias.
Reds
From the saline elegance of Ramisco to hillside reds.
Rosés
Light and food-friendly, made for the coast.
Sparkling wines
The fine bubbles and precise acidity are the result of Óbidos’ cool climate.
Fortified wines
Carcavelos, the fortified wine that was almost lost and has been revived.
Brandy
Lourinhã, one of the world's three brandy DOCs.
