DOC TAVORA-VAROSA
LOCATION AND HISTORY
Situated on the heights above the town of Lamego, Tavora-Varosa is a good fruit-growing area. The rainfall is high, 1.000 m3 at an altitude of 500-800 m, so the vineyards on the upper area of the rivers Varosa, Távora, Tedo and Torto are mainly planted with white grapes. The Cistercian monasteries played an important role in the wine industry in the past, which is why the regional wine is called Tierras del Cister. Nowadays it is the sparkling wine that dominates the region with the Malvasía Fina grape although Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are also growing. The most important winery is Caves Murganheira in Ucanha.
