Alenquer DOC
Alenquer is a Portuguese wine region centered on the town of Alenquer in the Lisboa wine region. The region is designated as Denominação [de Origem Controlada] after it was promoted from its former Indicação de Proveniencia Regulamentada status. Located in a valley in the district of Lisboa, wine grapes are able to ripen easily and produce full bodied red wines that have a spicy, peppery aroma. The white wines tend to be dry with a creamy mouthfeel.
