The Tejo, the largest river in Portugal, has always been associated with theproduction of quality wines. The city of Lisbon was traditionally its biggest marketand until the middle of the 20th century the river also functioned as the main route to bring the wines produced in these lands to the capital. The region is divided into three large terroirs: the so-called “neighborhood”, on the right bankof the Tejo, extending to the north, with clay and limestone soils; the “heath”, onthe left bank, walking south to Alentejo, and where sandy soils dominate; and the“field” or wetland, constituted by low and fertile alluvial lands, next to both banksof the river. Parras Wines has winemaking and storage facilities in the town of Gouxa, Almeirim - the heart of the Tejo.
