Portugal wine map, vineyards areas and grape varieties

Map of the wine producing areas in Portugal; the map also shows the landforms, major roads and cities. It can be a wonderful gift for a wine lover...and not only.

Portugal is renowned for its exceptional wine regions, each offering distinct flavors and traditions. The most notable ones:

• Douro Valley: Famous for its Port wine, this UNESCO World Heritage site boasts terraced vineyards along the Douro River. It's one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world.
• Alentejo: Known for its robust red wines, this region has vast plains and a warm climate, perfect for growing grapes like Trincadeira and Aragonez.
• Vinho Verde: Located in the north, this region is celebrated for its light, crisp, and slightly effervescent white wines made from grapes like Alvarinho and Loureiro.
• Dão: Nestled in the mountains, this region produces elegant red wines, often made from Touriga Nacional grapes, known for their complexity and aging potential.
• Madeira: The namesake island produces fortified wines with a unique aging process that gives them a distinct, caramelized flavor.
• Setúbal Peninsula: Renowned for its sweet Moscatel wines, this area also offers diverse reds and whites.

The map is made at an exceptional resolution (10.500 x 7050 pixels), allowing large size printing at impeccable quality.
For the color gradients, symbolizing the depth of the seas and oceans (where applicable), navigational maps were used for maximum accuracy.
