Castelo Rodrigo (Portuguese pronunciation:[kɐʃˈtɛluʁuˈdɾiɣu]) is a Portuguese wine region centered on the town of Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo in the wider Beiras wine region south of the Douro river. Castelo Rodrigo was initially a separate Indicação de Proveniencia Regulamentada (IPR) region, but in 2005, it became one of three subregions of the Beira Interior DOC, which has the higher Denominação de Origem Controlada (DOC) status. Its name may still be indicated together with that of Beira Interior, as Beira Interior-Castelo Rodrigo.[1][2]
Located along the border with Spain, this warm climate region is known for its full bodied, spicy red wines.[3]
