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.

The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
