Portugal: Alentejo
Alentejo is a large, sparsely populated southeastern region famous for its cork forests, grain and olives, but recent investment on the part of large producers such as Sogrape has put a new spotlight on its wines. The best are full powerful reds with lush, velvety character from red grapes Aragonez (known as Tinta Roriz in the north and Tempranillo in Spain), Periquita, Trincadeira Preta, and Alfrocheiro. Among white grapes, the Roupeiro is considered the finest in Alentejo.
Apart from port, Portugal has a number of other fine fortified wines. The lovely Moscatel de Set��bal features the white Muscat of Alexandria grape brought by Phoenicians over 2,000 years ago. This wine has nine to ten percent residual sugar and is left on the skins for several months after fermentation. Fortified with brandy to 18% alcohol, it has a vivid muscat character with orange, almond and wild flower bouquet.
