RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Siria (aka Roupeiro) is a pale-skinned grape variety grown throughout Portugal, under a multitude of regional guises. It is mostly produced in inland areas, from Tras-os-Montes in the north, leading further south past the Douro where it is known as Codega. Siria is thought to be best expressed in the elevated sites around Pinhel in the Beiras region, but it also produces very good wines in the southern Alentejo DOC, where it is known as Roupeiro and Alva.
