Why Portugal matters

Portugal is a brilliant discovery country

Portugal's native grapes give it a distinctive voice. You may not always recognise the variety, but the bottles often offer value, texture and food-friendly charm.

From the Douro to the coast, Portugal can do everyday drinking and serious bottles without losing its identity.

Douro

Structured reds and Port heritage

The Douro is famous for Port, but also produces deep, savoury reds from native grapes grown on steep terraces.

Vinho Verde

Light, zesty and refreshing

Vinho Verde is known for bright, low-weight whites with citrus freshness and a lively feel.

Dao

Elegant reds and cooler balance

Dao can bring fragrant, structured reds with savoury fruit and freshness.

Alentejo

Warm, generous and approachable

Alentejo produces ripe, rounded wines that are often easy to enjoy and strong value.

Bairrada

Baga and food-friendly acidity

Bairrada is known for structured reds and sparkling wines with firmness and freshness.

Lisboa and the coast

Atlantic value

Coastal areas around Lisboa offer useful, approachable reds and whites with good value.

Then and now

History in the glass, made useful today

Portugal's wine history is closely tied to trade, Atlantic ports, native grapes and the long British love affair with Port.

Native grapes: Portugal has hundreds of local varieties, which helps the wines taste distinctive.

Port heritage: The Douro's fortified-wine tradition remains important, but dry Douro reds are now a major draw too.

Modern value: Portuguese wines often offer serious flavour for the money, especially when you are open to unfamiliar grape names.
