Beira Interior
Also known as: Região de Beira Interior
An inland Portuguese region with altitude and a continental climate, producing aromatic reds and mineral whites with a robust character.
Beira Interior is a remote inland region whose altitude (400-800 m) creates an extreme continental climate. The lack of Atlantic influence yields more powerful reds with firmer tannins, and very mineral whites. It is a region of pure discovery.
