The DOC area for red and white wines in the Portuguese region of Lisboa used to be called just Torres until the famous Spanish winery owner Miguel Torres (*1941) successfully protested against it. The wines are mainly made from the indigenous varieties Arinto, Camarate Tinto, Fernão Pires, Jampal, Mortágua (Trincadeira Preta), Periquita (Castelão Francês), Rabo de Ovelha, Seara Nova, Tinta Miúda (Graciano) and Vital.
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
