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: Champagne rosé
Often obtained by adding red wines (from Champagne), it is even the only vineyard where this practice is allowed. Some producers prefer the practice used in other regions, i.e. a short maceration to extract sufficient colouring matter. This results in winey rosés for meals. Elegant aperitif rosé is more often made from red wine coloured Chardonnay. Rosés can be vintage or non vintage.
