 At the same time, the former Arrábida IPR, centered on the Arrabida hills, was absorbed into Palmela DOC.Palmela first gained attention for its off dry white wines made from Muscat grapes harvested early but has recently turned its attention to producing dry red and white table wines.The soil of the area of the former Arrábida IPR is predominantly limestone with good drainage potential for the cultivation of red wine varieties.
