Granja Amareleja IPR

Granja Amareleja is a Portuguese wine region centered around the town of Mourão in the Alentejo 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). The combination of the region's schist-based soils and harsh climate has the potential to produce bold, full bodied, spicy red wines. T. Stevenson "The Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia" pg 332 Dorling Kindersley 2005 ISBN 0756613248 ]

Grapes
