Algarve brings together Lagos, Lagoa, Portimão and Tavira. Southern exposure and mountain protection shape its Mediterranean climate, with more than 3,000 hours of sunshine a year. Heat and low rainfall can push alcohol levels higher, while soils vary across the region. Arinto, Síria, Malvasia Fina and Manteúdo grow alongside Touriga Nacional, Syrah, Castelão, Negra Mole and Trincadeira. The wines are often presented as refreshing choices for sunny days by the coast.
