Tomar wine

Tomar is a Portuguese wine region centered on the town of Tomar 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-Tomar.[1][2]

Vineyards are planted on the limestone slopes along the right bank of the Tagus river.[3]

Grapes

The principle grapes of the Tomar region include Arinto, Baga, Castelao Nacional, Fernao Pires, Malvasia, Periquita, Rabo de Ovelha, and Ugni blanc.[3]

gollark: I don't know, but generally I lean toward the view that once a technology is reasonably practical to make with existing technology of the time, and it's useful for something, someone will make it.
gollark: Amongst some subset of the population to be fair, not *all* of it.
gollark: Consider conspiracy theories. They are very stupid. They aren't very good for you to hold, as they may make you increasingly wrong about things. Yet they spread well.
gollark: I'm not convinced that the "if it alone leads to the development of modern science" thing is true, and I still don't agree regardless of that.
gollark: In any case, "spreads better than competitors" doesn't make it "better" in some way *for you to hold*.
