Coruche (wine region)

Coruche is a Portuguese wine region encompassing the town of Coruche in the Ribatejo region. The region was initially a separate Indicação de Proveniencia Regulamentada (IPR) region, but in 2003, it became one of six subregions of the Ribatejo DOC, which has the higher Denominação de Origem Controlada (DOC) status. Its name may still be indicated together with that of Ribatejo, as Ribatejo-Coruche.[1][2]

Located in the southern half of the Ribatejo region, vineyards are planted on sandy plains and relay on irrigation to sustain the vines.[3]

Grapes

The principal grapes of the Coruche region include Fernao Pires, Periquita, Preto Martinho, Tinta Amarela, Trincadeira das Pratas, Ugni blanc and Vital.[3]

gollark: It's somewhat similar here, A-level physics is weirdly lacking in maths. They deliberately avoid all calculus even when it doesn't make sense to.
gollark: Weren't there something like 20 equations originally because modern vector calculus notation hadn't been invented?
gollark: I think most of them use "IPS" now, whatever that actually stands for, and have good viewing angles. My laptop screen was clearly minimal-budget and is "TN"-based, so the viewing angles are bad.
gollark: Also differently sized pixels, quite plausibly.
