Redondo wine

Redondo is a Portuguese wine region centered on the Redondo municipality in the Alentejo region. The region was initially an Indicação de Proveniencia Regulamentada (IPR) region, then elevated to Denominação de Origem Controlada (DOC) status. In 2003, it became one of eight subregions of the Alentejo DOC. Its name may still be indicated together with that of Alentejo, as Alentejo-Redondo.{{cite encyclopedia |editor=Jancis Robinson |encyclopedia=Oxford Companion to Wine |edition=Third |title=Alentejo |year=2006 |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=Oxford |isbn=0-19-860990-6 |page=[https://archive.org/details/oxfordcompaniont00janc/page/11 11] |url=https://archive.org/details/oxfordcompaniont00janc/page/11 }}{{cite encyclopedia |editor=Jancis Robinson |encyclopedia=Oxford Companion to Wine |edition=Third |title=Portalegre |year=2006 |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=Oxford |isbn=0-19-860990-6 |page=[https://archive.org/details/oxfordcompaniont00janc/page/563 563] |url=https://archive.org/details/oxfordcompaniont00janc/page/563 }}[http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:C:2009:187:0001:0066:EN:PDF Official Journal of the European Union C 187/1, 8.8.2009: List of quality wines produced in specified regions] (reflects situation as of July 31, 2009)

In 2025, the municipality of Redondo submitted a bid together with its wine-producing neighbours of Alandroal, Borba, Estremoz, and Vila Viçosa, under the collective title of Vinhos de Serra d'Ossa (Wines of Serra d'Ossa, the mountain range around which they are clustered), and they were awarded the prestigious Cidade do Vinho (City of Wine) status for 2025 by the Associação de Municípios Portugueses do Vinho.https://ampv.pt/projetos/cidade-do-vinho/ Cidade do Vinho
