DISCOVERING PORTUGUESE WINE



WHAT´S ON THE LABEL





Somewhere on a bottle of Portuguese wine, you'll likely see the words "DOC" and "Vinho Regional." The country is carved up into 14 different regions, whose wines fall under the "Vinho Regional" category. Within these regions, various DOCs (that stands for Denominação de Origem Controlada) have stricter laws and more particular geographic boundaries
You'll also see the word quinta on the label—this is what the Portuguese call a wine estate. Producers also tend to list grape varieties (called castas) as well: many Portuguese wines are made from a blend of several different types of grapes, so it's handy to have a list. A wine labeled as "Reserva" indicates that the winemaker invested in additional oak aging.



WHAT´S IN THE BOTTLE



Vinho Verde





It is the biggest wine producing region in Portugal, located up in the cool, rainy, verdant North West. Vinho Verde produces fresh, lively white wines. They are low in alcohol, popping with flavours of lime and white peach. Often these wines have a little spritz, making them an especially refreshing partner for sea food.



Alentejo





The wines of Alentejo will hit the spot if you enjoy Malbec or Cabernet Sauvignon. One common factor you'll see in all these wines is sunshine: riper grapes mean higher alcohol levels and fuller-bodied wines for both red and white wines.
