Portuguese Wines

Skip to List
Wine production in Portugal has a very ancient and esteemed history, it is also home to the oldest appellation system in the world in the Douro. Portugal is famous for it Port wines from the Douro (click here) but also produces a wide range of table wines. The principal wine growing areas are the Douro, Dao, Bairrada, Alentejo, Vinhos Verdes, Setúbal and the Algarve (see also Madeira). Although there are some international grape varieties grown here (Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Chardonnay), most winse tend to be a blend of many indigenous grape varieties. These include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Baga, Tinta Barroca, Touriga Francesca and Bastardo, for the reds, and Malvasia Fina, Alvarinho, Roupeiro and Arinto for the whites. White wines include Vinho Verde (which can be red, white or rosé) which is usually a lighter-style, slightly sparkling (petillant) wine in the UK. There is also the ubiquitous Mateus Rosé (Lancer's is very good too). However, Portugal is now producing some world-class, big, complex red wines - top producers include, in the Douro, Niepoort and Prats and Symington, Esporao in the Alentejo, Quinta dos Roques in the Dao and Casa da Saima in Bairrada.
