Portuguese term or phrase: vinho beirão
hello everyone, I need your help. I'm translating a pamphlete on fine dinning in the Algarve. In the recomendations of selecting the right wines it states:
...um vinho maduro e robusto tipo Alentejano deve de acompanhar carnes vermelhas, comidas típicas Alentejanas e queijos, enquanto não é aconselhável beber um vinho beirão para o acompanhamento destes.


Are they talking about wine from the Beiras area or Beirão the sweet desert wine? Thank you for all your help!
