More about Portugiese Wines

Wine lovers know it’s not just Port that this exciting wine country is famous for (although that remains pretty damn good)! Juicy, fruity and spicy reds and exhilaratingly crisp whites are becoming a speciality of the Douro Valley. What’s even better is that winemakers here have ignored the famous international varieties and focussed on indigenous grapes, making it all the more interesting.

Portugal is one of the most exciting wine countries in the world — a nation with a vast range of unique indigenous grape varieties, ancient vine-growing traditions and an extraordinary diversity of terroirs. The Douro Valley is home to Port wine, one of the world's great fortified wines, but also to thrilling dry reds and whites. The Alentejo produces full-bodied, generous reds of real character. Vinho Verde produces some of Europe's most refreshing, mineral white wines, particularly from the Alvarinho grape. At Wines Direct we are passionate champions of Portuguese wine.
