TEJO
Along the Tagus, a wide river corridor moderates heat and keeps nights cooler, giving the valley a temperate mesoclimate. In Tejo, formerly Ribatejo, terroir is read in three chapters: Campo on fertile alluvial plains beside the river, Charneca on sandy, fast-draining ground, and Bairro on the foothills of Candeeiros and Montejunto. The DOC doTejo and Tejo VR lean on native grapes such as Fernão Pires, Castelão, Trincadeira and Arinto. On vigorous soils, canopy work and strict yield control keep precision in focus; parcel decisions and clean vinification translate river influence into a distinctly regional, modern identity.TEJO
