Portugal's highest-altitude wine region, Beira Interior runs along the Spanish border on granite and schist soils. Hard continental climate — cold winters, hot dry summers, sharp diurnal swings — delivers wines of natural acidity and freshness rare in southern Europe. Reds are built around Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Rufete; the standout whites are mineral expressions of Síria (Roupeiro) and Fonte Cal.
