This regional museum is an important resource here archiving the specific ways wine makers of this region developed their craft over hundreds of years
The ease of ripening in the hot sun makes the Alentejo prime red wine country. Trincadeira (rasberry, fruity,spicy) is the main red grape of the region and then it's Aragonez (plum, strawberry, blackberry). The third most important is the herby late ripening Castelao. A star here is also the Alicante Bouschet which is one of the world's few red-fleshed grapes.
