Wines of Portugal
The portuguese winemaking tradition is settled with a great foundation. Plenty are known as Oporto wine regions, which have led to the Portuguese wines to the top rankings in some of the most prestigious in Europe.
In Aporvino you talk about some of the best wines from Portugal to learn to enjoy its features.
Portuguese wines
In Portugal wines are produced in 11 wine regions, all providing excellent quality products: Minho, Tras-os-Montes, Douro / Porto, Beiras, Lisbon Valley, Setubal Peninsula, Alentejo, Algarve, Madeira and Azores. The wines of the Denomination of Origin Porto are produced in the Douro / Porto region, being these that have led Portugal to the summit of wine producers in Europe.
Because of the great diversity of soils and climates, we can find up to 500 varieties of native grapes in Portugal, so that the diversity of Portuguese wines is extremely wide. However, the most widely used white varieties are Albariño. Arinto, Loureiro, Roupeiro and Maria Gomes, while the predominant red varieties are Baga, Castelao French, Ramisco, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Nacional.
Aporvino recommendations: wines from Portugal
Two of the regions of highest quality that stand out for the excellence of its wines are the regions of Alentejo and Oporto. We will focus on them for recommendations that we will bring about Portuguese wines.
In the Designation of Origin Alentejo the Adega Familiar Eladio Piñeiro wineries, a traditional winery that produces wines such as The Alibi Portuguese, an excellent red wine made from Aragones, Alicante Brouschet and Cabernet Sauvignon are located. It has aged for 36 months in new barrels and subsequent aging in stainless steel tanks metal that lasts up to 48 months. The aging process ends 6 months after bottling when it begins to be marketed.
Adega Familiar Eladio Piñeiro focuses its production on organic farming based on the principles of biodynamics. Their vineyards are rooted in land slate with very poor soils that are highly beneficial for grapes used in its wines. The results of his philosophy of production are, as is reflected in The Alibi, excellent.
In the Designation of Origin Oporto we find the Bodegas Quinta do Noval, which we know as port wines Quina do Noval Tawny, the Cedro do Noval, Quinta do Noval and Fine Roby and White.
Among the Quinta do Noval fortified wine Tawny we highlight the 40, 20 and 10 years. Wines are prepared from a select blend of Tempranillo, Tinta Amarela, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional and other native depending on the vintage. This elaboration of Oporto wines of intense amber and gold colors, with very fruity aromatic notes and concentrated and powerful, well balanced and creamy taste arise.
