Encostas da Aire IPR

Encostas da Aire is a Portuguese wine region located on the limestone hills extending across the northern end of the Estremadura region into the southwestern corner of the Beiras region. The region has the second tier "Indicação de Proveniencia Regulamentada" (IPR) classification and may some day be promoted to "Denominação de Origem Controlada" (DOC). Despite similar names, the Encostas da Aire IPR is quite distinct from the Encostas da Nava IPR located in the northern half of the Beiras region. T.
