Companhia das Lezírias
Companhia das Lezírias operates in Ribatejo, the warmth-favored subregion of Tejo in central Portugal. The winery's portfolio centers on indigenous Portuguese varieties, particularly Touriga Nacional—a grape prized for its structure and dark fruit intensity across the country's finest regions. The Tyto Alba range demonstrates this focus: a single-varietal Touriga Nacional, a blended Tinto built from Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Franca, and Touriga Nacional, and a limited-edition Moscatel Galego that captures the aromatic character of this traditional white. Wine Advocate has assessed the portfolio, rating the Touriga Nacional and blended Tinto in the upper 80s. The winery's work reflects Ribatejo's continental climate and alluvial soils, conditions that favor ripe, structured reds and aromatic whites alike.
