Portugal Wine Regions

Portugal Wine

Portugal is a small country, but you’d never know by the sheer quantity of different wines it has to offer.

From the fresh and young green wines, to the deep reds of Alentejo, sweet Madeira wines and strong Port wines, the array is as vast as the colours of the rainbow.

Portugal has a young and thriving wine industry, which is based in old and secure foundations, but ready to evolve into the challenges of a global marketplace where it has to compete with cheaper wines. The strategy has been to invest in good quality products, protecting the demarcated regions with quality seals.

Portugal Wines: the secret is out!

Portuguese table wines are growing in influence in Europe, and getting to be better known all over the old continent.

The wild and in some ways preserved natural landscapes of Portugal contribute to the unique flavours the wines have to offer. You can feel, and taste, the individual character of each wine, as it translated the uniqueness of the soil in which it developed.

Old productions techniques are being upgraded, replacing old wineries with modern, machine driven production lines.

So come and get to know new and original flavours. If you are tired of merlots and cabernets, that always taste the same, Portugal is the place for you. Portugal’s wines don’t taste generic; they taste like Portugal’s wines.

Port Wine – The crown prince of Portugal wine

Port wine is the most famous wine that comes from Portugal. And only Port wine produced in the Douro region, in Portugal, can be called true Port wine.

Produced in the special Douro region, where a micro-climate ensures its uniqueness, Port wine has a history dating back at least to the III century, although only in the XVII century can we talk of the name Port wine.

A Port wine glass is a true delicacy, compared to the best gastronomic experiences you can have, anywhere in the world. Specially when you get to drink it near where it is produced, surrounded by beautiful and preserved landscapes.
