Carcavelos

Carcavelos stakes its survival on fortified wine—tawny and ruby spirits aged in the Atlantic wind, their vineyards compressed between Lisbon's sprawl and the sea. The region's red and dessert wines linger in the shadow of what once defined it: a muscatel fortified wine now made by a handful of keepers.
