Located in the heart of Portugal, the 'Terres de Cister' appellation is a land where winemaking tradition and breathtaking landscapes harmoniously coexist. Although classified as 'vinho de mesa', this region offers remarkable richness and diversity thanks to its Mediterranean and Atlantic climatic influences. Local grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Arinto, and Fernão Pires thrive in the region's granitic and clay-limestone soils to produce wines with complex aromas and balanced flavors. Terres de Cister reds are distinguished by their aromatic intensity, featuring notes of ripe red fruits, flowers, and sometimes subtle spicy nuances. The white wines, on the other hand, are noted for their freshness and minerality, often enhanced by floral and fruity touches. Whether you're a novice or an experienced collector, savoring a wine from the 'Terres de Cister' appellation is an invitation to explore the unique heritage and captivating character of this emerging Portuguese wine region.
