Alentejo is the largest wine region in Portugal and also the one with the greatest diversity as it gathers eight different sub-regions: Portalegre, Borba, Redondo, Reguengos, Évora, Vidigueira, Moura and Granja-Amareleja. Its 22,000 hectares of vineyards spread across plains, hills and mountains (the main ones are S. Mamede, Ossa and Mendro), and those vineyards lay on different types of soil: clay, limestone, marble, sand, schist, granite... The climate is continental Mediterranean, with greater thermal amplitudes in the interior regions, closer to the border with Spain. The Alentejo vineyard reflects a wide variety of grapes, with predominance of white grapes Antão Vaz, Roupeiro and Arinto and red grapes Aragonez, Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional and Syrah.
