Setúbal Peninsula

**Setúbal Peninsula** — Just south of Lisbon in Portugal, this coastal region is best known for a historic fortified sweet wine, though it makes plenty of dry table wine too. **Wines & grapes** — Its fame rests on Moscatel de Setúbal, a rich, aromatic fortified wine from Muscat grapes. Dry reds lean on Castelão and international varieties, with whites from Fernão Pires and others. **Character** — A warm, sunny, maritime climate suits both the honeyed, orange-peel intensity of the Moscatel and ripe, easy-drinking reds. The fortified wines can age remarkably well, deepening in colour and complexity.
