Abstract(s)
The Trás-os-Montes region is a large territory located in the extreme NE
of Portugal. It is a mountainous area with a dense river network that
creates deep valleys where the water flows bound for the Douro river.
The orographic barrier of the Marão, Alvão, Padrela and Larouco
mountains protect the region from the Atlantic Ocean influencing the
Mediterranean climate with continental characteristics such as long, cold
and rainy winters and short, very hot and dry summers. Granite and
schist with small calcareous areas is the dominant lithology. These
materials associated with the climate of the region, the relief, exposure
and human activity, originated various types soil. These natural
conditions promote greater adaptability of indigenous varieties and
produce high quality wines, with a marked differentiation.
