A Taste of Portugal from Wines Direct
Wines Direct are offering their customers a Taste of Portugal featuring two wines from Quinta do Crasto and four wines showcasing wines from Quinta do Maia, Pousio and Pessoa. Portugal’s two main strengths as a European wine producing country are the diversity of its wine styles and its wealth of native grape varieties. It is rectangular in shape, roughly 600 km from north to south and 200 km from west to east. The coastal wine regions are strongly influenced by the Atlantic, the moderating effect of which diminishes the further inland you move. As a result, you will find light fresh flavoured dry white wines produced in close proximity to full bodied reds and rich fortified wines. Add the unique and varied native grape varieties only found in Portugal and you can understand why this small country has had so much success selling its wines in recent years. From the wild berry fruit characters of Touriga Nacional, Baga and Castelão to the distinctive whites made from the spicy Fernão Pires, the delicate Loureiro or the floral scented Rupeiro, Portuguese wines these days, are very much in demand.
