Tejo wine region

The entire region is entitled to use the Vinho Regional designation Tejo VR, while some areas are also classified at the higher Denominação de Origem Controlada (DOC) level under the designation DoTejo DOC.

Located between the Lisboa and Alentejo VRs, the region is dominated by the influence of the Tagus river.

The river moderates the region's climate, making it more temperate than other areas of Portugal.

Vineyards are planted on the fertile alluvial plains along the river and can be prone to producing excessive yields.
