Castelo Rodrigo wine
Castelo Rodrigo is a Portuguese wine region centered on the town of Figueira de [Castelo Rodrigo] in the wider Beiras wine region south of the Douro river. Castelo Rodrigo was initially a separate Indicação de Proveniencia Regulamentada region, but in 2005, it became one of three subregions of the Beira [Interior DOC], which has the higher Denominação de Origem Controlada status. Its name may still be indicated together with that of Beira Interior, as Beira Interior-Castelo Rodrigo.
Located along the border with Spain, this warm climate region is known for its full bodied, spicy red wines.
