PORTUGAL


Regions for wine :

D.O. PORTO, VINTAGE : The utmost fortified wine famous worldwide. Less than 1% of all Port wine produced is able to take such a name. This type of wine coming from a unique harvest is bottled after being laid down for two years in oak vats and it really has outstanding qualities.

D.O. PORTO, LATE BOTTLED VINTAGE : A type of Port wine coming from a unique harvest which is bottled after being stored five to six years in oak barrels. Smoother and more drinkable than the Vintage wines, this type of wine still keeps most of the Vintage's qualities.

D.O. PORTO, OLD TAWNY : It consists of wines coming from several harvests, matured from ten, twenty, thirty to more than forty years, which allow to determine its average age. This famous wine is ideal to be served as an aperitif or as an after-meal drink, it being well-kept for a long time in bottle after being opened.

D.O. MADEIRA : Regarded as the refinement in the courts of Europe, it was even used as a perfume. In the courts of England, such fortified wine was rival to the Port wine.

D.O. VINHO VERDE : A region known for its grape variety wines of Alvarinho, sparkling wines and fine brandies

D.O. DOURO : A region well-known for its fine Port wine which also produces splendid red and white wines

D.O. ALENTEJO : A region distinguished by a great variety of soils originating wines of great prestige

D.O. BAIRRADA : Since the XIX century this region is considered as the stopping point of the travellers who do not miss such wine served with the also famous sucking pig

D.O. DAO : A renowned region for the wine it produces since the Middle Ages, initially grown by the religious orders

VINHOS DA PENÍNSULA SETÚBAL E DO ALGARVE

FORTIFIED WINES : The refreshing Moscatel de Setúbal....

ASSORTED WINES : The exquisite Rosé wine, the festive wine of Bucelas.

RARE WINES : Among numerous reasons for a bottle of wine to be given the name of "Rare" one can distinguish not only its exclusiveness, price and a very small number of bottles existing all over the world but also the fact of these bottles being the last ones produced in a certain area (famous regions which have been recently urbanized, unfortunately); the nature of the wine, due to its characteristics and storage conditions, offers excellent expectations at the time the bottle is opened.
