The Amazing Wines of Portugal: A Full Overview

Twin Cities Wine Education LLC presents The Amazing Wines of Portugal Crisp whites, deep dry reds, dessert deliciousness, and everything in-between! If there is one wine country to keep an eye on right now, it's Portugal. While much of Spanish winemaking has hyper-modernized (international varietals, lots of new oak used, deeper and more extracted wines that don't seem to have a sense of place), Portugal has done an exceptional job of straddling the old world and the new world. Many of these wines fly under the consumer's radar due to several factors: unknown varietals (how often do you walk into a wine bar and ask for a Touriga Nacional?), unknown regions ("What do you have from Dao?"), and until recently old-school (in the bad way) winemaking techniques.
