Vinified sweet and liqueur-style for muscat-fortified wines of original chromatic appeal. Grown in Spain (Málaga, Levant) and Argentina (Mendoza). A pink-skinned mutation of Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, a rare aromatic variety with very characteristic wines.
More informations about the wines of Portugal
Portugal has undergone something of a wine revolution over the past two decades, modernizing its winemaking technologies, styles and attitudes. This archetypal Old World country has Long been famous for its fortified wines (Port and Madeira) and its light, tangy Vinho Verde. But it is now attracting much attention for its New wave of Rich, ripe table wines, especially the reds of the Douro Valley. Portugal's place in the wine world is arguably more about its cork production than its wine, but that largely depends on which period of history you choose.
