Portugal
The diverse range of Portuguese wines encompasses everything from the crisp, effervescent whites of Vinho Verde to the robust, full-bodied reds and the iconic and delicious fortified Port wines from the Douro Valley. While red and fortified wines tend to dominate the market, the potential of Portugal’s white wines is increasingly recognized: The northern Alvarinho grape has garnered attention for its distinctive, character-driven dry whites, transcending the realm of traditionally predominantly budget-friendly options. The southern region of Setúbal also offers an array of delightful fortified Moscatels.
Over the past two decades, Portugal has quietly emerged as a powerhouse in the world of wine. This transformation can be attributed to the nation’s steadfast dedication to cultivating indigenous grape varieties and producing unique, full-bodied wines that can hold their own on the global stage. Far more than the country of Port, the incredible value offered by Portuguese wines has captured the attention of enthusiasts everywhere.
