Lisboa DOC

Lisboa

The rolling hills that stretch along the Atlantic coast north of Lisbon are home to some of the most productive and heterogeneous areas in Portugal.

The vineyards situated in close proximity to the coast are greatly affected by the strong and significant influence of the Atlantic, whereas the vineyards located further inland, sheltered by various mountain systems, benefit from a transitional Mediterranean climate.

 

The wines produced from coastal regions exhibit a low alcoholic content and possess a lightness comparable to those originating from Minho. The soil types in these regions can be categorized as either clayey-calcareous or sandy-clayey.

 

The Lisboa wine region comprises of nine denominations of origin, which are grouped into three distinct geographical clusters. The southern appellations of Bucelas, Colares, and Carcavelos are located in close proximity to Lisbon. Alenquer, Arruda, Lourinhã, Óbidos, and Torres Vedras are situated in the central part of the region, while Encostas d'Aire is located in the north.

 

 

Out of the nine sub-regions, Bucelas, Colares, and Carcavelos are particularly notable. Bucelas has carved out a niche for itself due to the unique style of its white wines, which are dominated by the Arinto grape variety, imparting freshness and longevity.

 

Colares is one of Portugal's most distinct and unconventional appellations, featuring vineyards planted with the Ramisco variety, located by the sea on extremely loose sandy soils. Unfortunately, Carcavelos has become a lackluster region, with few vineyards or producers, a victim of the relentless urban real estate pressure emanating from Lisbon.

 

The primary white grape varieties in the region are Arinto, Fernão Pires, Malvasia, Seara-Nova, and Vital, while the red grape varieties include Alicante Bouschet, Aragonez, Castelão, Tinta Miúda, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, and Trincadeira, as well as international varieties like Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah.
