Terras de Azurara
Terras de Azurara is a Portuguese wine-geography entry for the Dão context, useful for reading labels that name a DOC, DOP, or recognized subregional origin rather than only the broad region. Its practical identity is an eastern Dão subregion with granite and altitude. Typical wines are fresh reds with red fruit, herbs, and moderate tannin; whites with citrus and mineral notes. The vineyard setting is eastern Dão granite uplands with altitude and continental temperature range. This entry is written as a reference-encyclopedia geography note: it explains place, grapes, style, and label context without ranking estates or turning the appellation into a buying list.
Notable Rules
Recognized Dão subregion; the name is a geographic cue within the Dão DOC / DOP and does not imply a producer ranking.
Also Known As
Sub-região Terras de Azurara, Terras de Azurara, Terras de Azurara sub-regiao, Terras de Azurara subregion
