The wine region of Távora-Varosa
Smallest DOC in Portugal (~3,500 ha) between the Douro and the Dão, first delimited region for sparkling wines in the country, altitude vineyards 500–900 m on granite soils. Traditional-method sparkling wines are the signatures: Malvasia Fina, Cerceal, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in fine cuvées with notes of green apple, citrus, brioche, white flowers and a mineral touch, elegant bubble and altitude freshness. Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz in still reds. Fine Portuguese bubbles.
The wine region of Beiras
Vast region of north-central Portugal, a fragmented mosaic of distinct sub-regions. In the west, Bairrada makes dense Baga reds with notes of black cherry, blackberry and leather, firm tannins — the base of the great Portuguese sparkling wines. In the centre, Dao produces fine Touriga Nacional reds (violet, raspberry, spice) and elegant Encruzado whites (flowers, citrus, butter). To the continental east, fleshy Touriga of Beira Interior and aromatic Fernao Pires.
The word of the wine: Pinot meunier
Cultivated in the 19th century in all the northern vineyards, this black grape variety has largely regressed since. Very present in the Marne valley, it constitutes a third of the vineyards in Champagne, alongside pinot noir and chardonnay with which it is often blended. It brings roundness and red and yellow fruit aromas to champagnes. Pinot meunier is also the dominant grape variety in red and rosé wines in the Orleans AOC and the rare Touraine-Noble-Joué, a grey wine. Syn.: meunier.
