A revolution has been taking place in the vineyards and wineries of Portugal during the last twenty-five years, bringing hundreds of new wines, many from indigenous grapes, onto the international market. Previously thought of as a producer of mainly red wine, Portugal is now proving it can make world-class white wines too. In order to examine the terroirs that make this small but varied country so unique The Wines of Portugal<\/em><\/strong> divides the country into four areas – Atlantic, mountains, plains and islands – providing detailed descriptions of the demarcated wine regions, the growers and the wines they produce. From crisp Vinhos Verdes in the Atlantic north-west through the Douro, Dão and Lisbon to the big, bold reds of the Alentejo and newcomers from the Algarve, this book is an up-to-date appraisal of Portugal’s vineyards and wine producers.
\n• Captures the changes in Portuguese wine that have taken place over the five years since the previous edition was published.
\n• Thoroughly updated producer entries with more wines tasted.
\n• Expansion of the section on Azores wines, reflecting the recent rapid revival of winemaking here, as well as its popularity as a tourist destination.
\n• Richard Mayson is a series editor for The Classic Wine Library<\/em> and the first edition of this book is among the series’ best-sellers.
\n• New colour maps make navigating the wine landscape easier; also contains colour photos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
