Algarve
Vineyards love the most southerly region of Portugal for the same reason as tourists - it is never too hot, never too cold and they can be sure that they enjoy more than 3,000 hours of sunshine every year.
 | Did you know that the first vines in the Algarve were planted around 2000 BC and that in the Algarve it never gets as hot as in Alentejo which is 50 km away ? |
Why? A beautiful mountain range that runs all the way between the Spanish border and the Atlantic coast, separates the two regions and blocks the hot, dry winds from the north, keeping the Algarve under the moderating influence of the sea - the Mediterranean in the south and the Atlantic in the west.
The soils in the Algarve are very varied: sand, clay, limestone and sandstone, sometimes very shallow, with some rare schist areas on the mountainous slopes in the north.
Which wine styles
do you find here ?
You might expect this southern-most region to be Portugal’s hottest, but the sea keeps it cooler than the southern part of the Alentejo, just over the scenic hills of the northern Algarve, so that Algarve whites as well as rosés can be fresh and appealing, reds aromatic and elegant.
The Algarve has a prominent ambassador in the British pop star Sir Cliff Richard, who owns a wine estate there.
