Lisboa has nine controlled wine designations: Alenquer, Arruda, Bucelas, Carcavelos, Colares, Encostas d'Aire, Óbidos, Torres Vedras and Lourinhã. Vinho Regional Lisboa is a broader regional indication, alongside these more tightly delimited protected names. Red grapes include Alicante Bouschet, Aragonez, Castelão, Tinta Miúda, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional and Trincadeira; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah are also permitted. Fernão Pires, Arinto, Malvasia and Vital are important white varieties. Bucelas is closely associated with white wines made from Arinto, a grape with pronounced acidity. Colares is known for reds made from Ramisco that can need long ageing, while Carcavelos wines can suit the end of a meal. Óbidos makes both still and sparkling wines.
