Portuguese wines

Worldwide, Portugal is recognized for its fortified wines such as Port and Madeira. Every sip there are more wineries that try to reinvent themselves and produce all kinds of Portuguese wines. The orography and climate of Portugal varies greatly throughout its territory. The North borders Galicia giving rise to the coldest and rainiest areas of Portugal. Towards the centre of the country and near the coast, the climate is like the Mediterranean where the summers are warmer. As we get closer to the south, we see the temperatures rise and this is where we find more vineyards that produce Portuguese wine.

Which varieties stand out in Portuguese wines?

With a pile of native strains and varieties, Portuguese wines enjoy a wide variety of grape types. Although many of them are very similar, for example the white varieties such as Albariño and Loureiro that stand out in the North, but in the rest of the country white Portuguese wines use Fernao Pires. Of the red varieties, the most widespread strain is the Catelao, although the Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tempranillo are also of enormous importance in producing the best value-for-money Portuguese wines.

What are the most recognized names of Portuguese wines?

As one of the most extensive regions in Portugal, we find the PDO Vinhas Verdes, which is the second denomination in production. They produce white wines and red wines. They use the Albariño and Loureiro varieties together with the Arinto. They are very fresh young white Portuguese wines.
