Portugal is one of Europe's most exciting wine-producing countries, combining centuries of tradition with an extraordinary wealth of native grape varieties. From the steep terraces of the Douro Valley and the fresh Atlantic vineyards of Vinho Verde to the sun-drenched plains of Alentejo and the limestone soils of Dão, every region has its own identity. The result is a remarkable range of wines, from crisp, mineral-driven whites and vibrant reds to elegant sparkling wines and the world-famous fortified wines of Porto.

While Portugal is rightly celebrated for Port, its table wines have never been better. Indigenous grapes such as Touriga Nacional, Baga, Encruzado, Arinto and Loureiro produce distinctive wines that offer freshness, character and a real sense of place.
