Portugal

Portugal still suffers from a real lack of consumer awareness of the quality of the its table wines - perhaps if more people knew Tinta Roriz was Tempranillo by another name, they would be more willing to give its outstanding wines a try. The real star though, particularly in the Douro, has to be the Touriga Nacional grape, which is world class.

Portugal can produce fantastic quality in the right place and in the right hands and we are still researching other areas - specifically the Alentejo and Vinho Verde - to find more outstanding wines to illustrate what Portugal is really capable of.
