The wine region of Vinho de Portugal
A thousand-year-old wine country with 250+ native grapes across 14 distinct regions. National emblem Touriga Nacional (~12,000 ha): perfumed, deep reds with signature notes of violet, black fruits, eucalyptus, sweet spices and a balsamic touch, firm tannins - the base of the great dry Douros and of Ports. Also elegant Touriga Franca, spicy Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), fruity Castelão. Whites: lively citrusy Arinto, ample mineral Encruzado.
The word of the wine: Disgorging (champagne)
This is the evacuation of the deposit formed by the yeasts during the second fermentation in the bottle, by opening the bottle. The missing volume is completed with the liqueur de dosage - a mixture of wine and cane sugar - before the final cork is placed. For some years now, some producers have been replacing this sugar with rectified concentrated musts (concentrated grape juice) which give excellent results. A too recent dosage (less than three months) harms the gustatory harmony of the champagne.
