Portuguese wine: one of the world's most diverse wine countries
Portugal is the sixth largest wine producer in the world and a country of extraordinary contrasts. Few small countries can match its diversity, built on roughly 250 grape varieties, many of them indigenous and grown nowhere else. This unique heritage gives Portuguese wine a character all its own. When you buy Portuguese wine online at Finding Wine, you tap into a tradition that runs from crisp coastal whites to some of the most collectible fortified wines on earth.
Regions and styles: Douro, Vinho Verde, Port and beyond
Portugal's vineyards stretch from north to south across regions including Douro, Vinho Verde, Lisboa, Dao, Bairrada, Porto and the Algarve. That range means there is a Portuguese wine for every occasion: lively, low-alcohol Vinho Verde for warm days; powerful, structured Douro reds for the table; refined whites from Dao; and the legendary sweet richness of Port and Madeira for the end of the meal. The topography, from river valleys to mountain slopes, shapes each region's distinctive style.
Grapes and food pairing
Signature grapes include Touriga Nacional, the backbone of great Douro reds, alongside Touriga Franca, Baga and the aromatic whites of the Vinho Verde region. Portuguese reds pair beautifully with grilled meats, bacalhau and rich stews, while the crisp whites are made for seafood. A glass of tawny or vintage Port is the classic close to a meal, wonderful with blue cheese, walnuts and chocolate.
