Lisboa
The Lisbon wine region, formerly Estremadura, showcases Portugal’s diverse viticultural heritage. Nestled along the Atlantic coast, the area benefits from a temperate climate and varied terroirs. Sub-regions like Bucelas and Colares are renowned for their distinctive wines, from fresh, vibrant whites to unique Ramisco reds cultivated in sandy soils. Lisbon’s commitment to sustainability and innovation has made it a hub for both traditional and modern winemaking.
