Wine from Portugal

Portugal is marked by the rediscovery of a long wine-tradition, characterized by a wine range varieties and traditions of wine-making.

Techniques and types that have been forgotten in other countries, furthermore the smallest yields per hectare in the world (under 20 hl/ha) mark this wine country.

The supposed backwardness causes the highest potential for extraordinary quality.

"Portugal is a storehouse within Europe, a reservoir for the variety of the European wine-culture, well kept until time is ready to perceive the charm of originality, being fed up with international wines and grapes of great uniformity." (André Dominé: Wein, Köln 2000)
