Dão, Bairrada and other Portuguese wine regions

In addition to Douro, Minho, and Alentejo, Portugal has other wine regions of great importance. Dão, Bairrada, Lisbon, Tejo, Beira Interior, Setúbal Peninsula, Algarve, Azores, and other areas expand the diversity of Portuguese wines.

Dão is known for elegant, balanced, and gastronomic wines. Touriga Nacional, one of the most important grape varieties in Portugal, has a strong connection to the region. The whites from Dão can also show freshness and sophistication.

Bairrada is marked by the Baga grape and the production of sparkling wines. It is an excellent region to pair with suckling pig, meats, and intensely flavored dishes. Lisbon brings together a great variety of styles, including historical areas like Bucelas, Colares, and Carcavelos. The Setúbal Peninsula is remembered for its Moscatel. The Azores, especially Pico, offer Atlantic and volcanic wines.
