Vinification
Some white wine is being in the Alentejo. However, the red wine is building the reputation of this region. Due to a combination of large estates and a very consistent and reliable climate, Alentejo has the advantage of combining quality and affordable pricing.
Think of it as Portugal's "new world", with the potential to make bold, ripe wines reminiscent of the sun.
