Setúbal
Written By Philippa Kelly
Green and fertile, beaten by intense light and caressed by a climate tempered by the Atlantic influence; this is the picture set by the rolling lands which wind around the Lisbon region and of all the wine-growing regions it is the one which shows the most pronounced diversity, from the geology to the typology of the soils where alluvial lands contrast with the slopes where secondary limestone abounds and the lowlands lie opposite the mountainous massifs of the eastern border.
The Peninsula de Setubal region is steeped in vine-growing tradition and is the realm of two famed grape varieties: the red Castelao and the white Moscatel.
