Lourinhã

DOC area for brandy (Aguardente) in the Lisboa region. It is located on the Atlantic coast of Portugal and includes the areas of Bombarral, Lourinhã, Óbidos (also for wines), Peniche and Torres Vedras (also for wines). Brandy has been used in the production (sprits) of port wine for over 200 years.

Lourinhã - 5 Marken (Flaschen)

Alongside Armagnac and Cognac from France, this is the third area defined by wine law for a brandy in the European Union. The white wine varieties Cerceal (Sercial), Fernão Pires, Malvasia Rei (Palomino), Marquinhas, Síria, Tália (Trebbiano Toscano), as well as the red wine varieties Cabinda, Carignan (Mazuelo), Periquita (Castelão Francês) and Tinta Miúda (Graciano) are authorised. These are also traditionally cultivated in soil training. Distillation is largely carried out using the so-called continuous process, and the alcohol content must not exceed 72% vol. The brandy must mature for at least two years in oak or chestnut barrels (up to 800 litres).
