To the locals, this sun-drenched area is famously known as the land of sweeping vineyards, ancient olive groves, cork forests, and majestic Lusitano horses. It is a region completely defined by the mighty Tejo River, whose breadth and strength shape the climate and create three highly distinct wine-producing zones: the fertile riverbanks of the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"546\"\u003eCampo\u003c\/b\u003e, the rolling clay and limestone hills of the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"597\"\u003eBairro\u003c\/b\u003e, and the sandy, sun-baked plains of the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"644\"\u003eCharneca\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThis brilliantly diverse terroir allows an array of native grapes to thrive while retaining their crucial natural acidity. For \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"127\"\u003ewhite wines\u003c\/b\u003e, the undisputed local champions are the aromatic \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"188\"\u003eFernão Pires\u003c\/b\u003e and the lively \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"216\"\u003eArinto\u003c\/b\u003e. Together, they produce incredibly crisp, refreshing wines with a beautiful zing of citrus—making them an effortless choice for an easy-going afternoon in the courtyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"4\"\u003ered wines\u003c\/b\u003e of the region are just as inviting. Winemakers here make fantastic use of indigenous grapes, blending the bold, famous \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"133\"\u003eTouriga Nacional\u003c\/b\u003e with local favourites like \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"177\"\u003eTrincadeira\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"190\"\u003eCastelão\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"204\"\u003eAragonês\u003c\/b\u003e.
