Cartaxo wine

Cartaxo is a Portuguese wine region centered on the town of Cartaxo and overlapping the Estremadura and Ribatejo VR regions. The region was initially a separate "Indicação de Proveniencia Regulamentada" (IPR) region, but in 2003, it became one of six subregions of the Ribatejo DOC, which has the higher "Denominação de Origem Controlada" (DOC) status. Its name may still be indicated together with that of Ribatejo, as Ribatejo-Cartaxo.
The region is known for simple, fruity red and white wines.
