INDIGENOUS GRAPE

VARIETIES

No other country has a range of indigenous grape varieties to match Portugal’s. This huge variety of different grapes was introduced to Portugal over a long and exciting history of wine-making, traced by archaeologists back to the Bronze Age. Tartessians, Phoenicians, and Romans all left their wine-making mark here. Centuries of isolation then prevented further exchange with other wine producing countries such as Spain and France, so Portuguese growers concentrated on the fine flavors to be found in their own grape varieties.

WHITE GRAPE VARIETIES

rinho

This northern grape is one of Portugal’s finest and most characterful. It was one of the first Portuguese grape varieties to be bottled as a single variety. Its full-bodied, subtly fragrant white wines are easy to recognize. Their complex but delicate aromas are reminiscent of peach, lemon, passion fruit, lychee, orange zest, jasmine, orange blossom and lemon balm. The wines are delicious young, but they can also age well, often for ten years or more. Alvarinho grows mostly along the River Minho, right up in the north of

Jaen Mencía

the Vinho Verde region—the northern Vinho Verde sub-regions of Monção and Melgaço are its famous heartlands. Compared to other Vinho Verde, it makes richer wines, higher in alcohol. Alvarinho vines are vigorous, and care is needed to restrain their exuberant vegetation, yet grape yield is low, the bunches small, and the grapes very pippy.

rinto

This is a versatile grape, grown in most of Portugal’s wine regions. In Vinho Verde country, it goes by the name of Pedernã. It makes vibrant wines with lively, refreshing acidity, often with a mineral quality, along with gentle flavors reminiscent of apple, lime and lemon. Arinto-based wines can keep well but are

also delicious young. Because it keeps its acidity even in hot climates, Arinto is often added to other lower-acid white grapes to improve blends— especially in the hot Alentejo and Ribatejo. It makes some of its greatest wines in the small DOC region of Bucelas, just north of Lisbon, where it must account for at least 75 per cent of blends (along with Sercial and Rabo de Ovelha). Its good acidity also makes it a great ingredient for sparkling wines. Arinto’s medium-sized bunches are tightly packed with small grapes. ncruzAdo

For the moment, this grape is restricted very much to the DOC Dão, but watch this space. It is one of Portugal’s absolutely top white grape varieties. The best examples have delicate aromas of roses and violets, light citrus notes, a touch of resin and, in certain conditions, intense mineral notes. Amongst its virtues is the ability to maintain almost perfect balance between sugar and acidity, making serious, rich, structured wines with extraordinary aging potential. It is used both as a single variety and as a star ingredient in many Dão blends. The Encruzado vine yields well, presenting no major problems in the vineyard.

SíriA

This land-locked grape grows in a long northsouth strip over by the border with Spain. It has various alternative regional names. Síria is the name used in the Beiras,but it is best known by its southern Alentejo name, Roupeir—this is the most-planted white grape in the Alentejo. Because it hasa tendency to oxidize, Síria/Roupeiro is a wine to drink young. In its youth it is exuberantly aromatic, citrus and floral, with hints of each melon and bay. It does better in the cool uplands of the Beiras than in the heat of the Ribatejo and Alentejo, and is particularly successful in the Pinhel region in the northern sector of the Beira Interior. The Síria gives high yields, and both bunches and grapes are small.

RED GRAPE VARIETIES

ourigA nAcionAl

F ontE cAl

It rare to see a single- Variety Fonte Cal, most is blended. This variety produces big, well structured wines that are floral, honeyed and fruity.

lourEiro

Loureiro means "Laurel" or "Bay" and the aromas resemble that of laurel flowers, and orange blossoms, with acacia and lime blossoms overlaying appley, peach fruit. This grape has a well-balanced acidity.

Few would dispute that the Touriga Nacional is Portugal’s finest red grape variety, deserving a place right up at the top of the world league of grapes, along with the likes of Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Nebbiolo. Though Northern in origin, it has spread right across the country—you will find it down south in the Algarve and the Alentejo, out west in the Ribatejo/Tejo and Setúbal regions, successfully competing with the local Baga grape in Bairrada, and way out mid-Atlantic in the Azores. Touriga Nacional is a thick-skinned grape, and those skins are rich in color and tannins, giving excellent structure and aging capacity. It also has wonderful, intense flavors, at the same time floral and fruity—ripe blackcurrants, raspberries—with complex hints also of herbs and licorice. Yields are never high. The Dão and Douro regions both claim to be the origin of this fine grape, and the rest of the winemaking world is beginning to wake up to its quality.

roriz / ArAgonêS

This is one of the rare grape varieties to be prized on both sides of the border. Tempranillo to the Spanish, the Portuguese call it by two different names depending on the region: Aragonês and Tinta Roriz (the latter name is used only in the Dão and Douro regions). In recent years it has spread rapidly throughout the Dão, Ribatejo/Tejo and Lisboa regions. It can make rich, lively red wines that combine elegance and robustness, copious berry fruit and spicy flavor. It’s an early variety (that’s what “Tempranillo” means in Spanish). The vines are very vigorous and productive and adapt well to different climates and soils, although it prefers hot, dry climates on sandy or clay-limestone soils. It tends to be blended with other varieties, typically Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, and also with Trincadeira and Alicante Bouschet in the Alentejo.

ourigA FrAncA

This is one of the structural pillars of red Douro blends, and also one of the five officially recommended grapes for port. It’s the most widely planted grape in the Douro, currently accounting for around a fifth of total vineyard area, and it is 0northern half of Portugal. The Touriga Franca makes richly-colored, dense yet elegant wines with copious blackberry fruit and floral notes (roses, rock roses, wild flowers...) and firm but velvety tannins that contribute to the aging potential of blends—it is often blended with Tinta Roriz and Touriga Nacional. Apart from the quality of its wines, it is popular in the vineyard for its resistance to pests and diseases and its reliably good crops of healthy grapes.

JAEn/MEncíA

An Iberian grape. Jaen has that characteristics of fruity flavors and aromas. This is a deep red color grape, with aromas of raspberry, strawberry, liquorice and cherry. Jaen is best sweet as a blending variety for soften tannic reds.

AlFrochEiro

Rich in color with firm ripe tannins, alcohol and acidity. This grape also displays aromas of berry fruit, in particular blackberries, strawberries, and black currants.

AdEir AMA

Rich in color, with good acidity and rarely an excess of alcohol, Trincadeira (as it’s known in the Alentejo) or Tinta Amarela (if you are speaking to a Douro producer) makes wines of serious quality when ripe, but it does not always achieve ripeness. Properly ripened, it has vibrant raspberry fruit tempered by herby, peppery, spicy, floral complexity, and it can age well. Under-ripe, it tastes herbaceous. It is a difficult vine to grow, producing exuberant amounts of foliage and needing constant trimming to prevent those vegetal flavors. Yields are generally high, but unreliable. It is very sensitive to rot and other vineyard diseases. For this reason, it does better in hot, dry places, and is therefore particularly at home in the Alentejo and Tejo areas: these are the regions where it really shines, but it is grown throughout Portugal. E

BouSchEt

A coloring grape, perhaps the most Portuguese amongst foreign grapes. This grape will make big, bold, unquestionably fruit forward wine, with flavors ranging from fresh to jammy blackberries, black cherries and more. It has a spicy, smoky flavors along with sweeter tones of dark chocolate, backing spice and vanilla bean.

cAStElão

The most planted red grape of the southern part of Portugal amongst the foreign grapes. This grape will make a big, bold, unquestionably fruit forward wine, with flavors ranging from fresh to jammy blackberries, black cherries and more. It has a spicy, smoky flavor along with sweeter tones of dark chocolate, baking spice and vanilla bean.

DONA MARIA / JULIO BASTOS

Owner Julio Bastos

Winemaker Sandra Goncalves

Founded in 19th Century

Located in Alentejo

Acreage 80 Hectares

Production 45,000 Cases

Situated in Alentejo, this palace-like 18th century house is a landmark, not only for its beauty but also for its history and the top-quality wine produced there. Wine has been produced at this estate for more than 150 years but at the start of the new millennium, Júlio Bastos embraced this new project: Dona Maria Wines.

The ancient estate winery has been restored, keeping the 19th century marble “lagares” where selected grapes are vinified using the traditional foot treading method, and where the famous Alicante Bouschet is produced.

ALENTEJO REGION

This huge, sun-drenched area, covering much of the southern half of Portugal, has in recent years become an important source of bold, ripe and fruity red wines. It is no wonder that Alentejo attained its first sub-regions in 1989. Portugal’s entry into the EU brought long-overdue investment into vineyards and cellars.

Modern technology, specifically temperature control, made it possible to make good quality white wines as well as rich reds. The Alentejo region has some wonderful old vines that produce a lower yield (but higher quality) of characterful wines.

Quinta do Gradil

Owner Luis Vieira Winemaker António Ventura

Founded in 1999

Located in Lisboa

Acreage 200 Hectares

Production 100,000 Cases / yr

Quinta do Gradil is considered one of the oldest properties in the municipality of Cadaval. With historical references that date back to the end of the fifteenth century, Quinta do Gradil prides itself on its eighteenth century palace, a major landmark of the region. The history of the property is enriched by names such as the Marquis of Pombal, who acquired it in the eighteenth century and began cultivating the property’s vines.

The property was kept by his successors until the 20th century. The finest terroir of the Lisbon wine region and the experience of the past, together with the most advanced technology, are reflected in the wines. Quinta do Gradil is located on the western foothills of the Serra de Montejunto, in the transition area between the humid winds from the Atlantic and the permanent winds from the West, in a region known for its dry summers.

Lisbon Region

Fresh sea breezes keep the windmills turning in this charming, hilly coastal region to the west and north of Lisbon. They also keep the vineyards cool, especially on the seaward side. The Lisbon region (which was known as Estremadura until the 2008 vintage) has more DOC’s than any other wine region of Portugal; a total of nine, one of which is for aguardente (brandy) rather than wine. There are a growing number of private wine estates. Many excellent wines are also sold as Vinho Regional Lisbon.

Casa Ermelinda Freitas

Owner Ermelinda Freitas

Winemaker Jaime Quendera

Founded in 1920

Located in Setubal Peninsula

Acreage 440 Hectares

Production 1.300 Million Cases

Founded in 1920 by Deonilde Freitas continued by Germana Freitas, and later by Ermelinda Freitas, the company has always had a special interest in wine. Leonor Freitas inherited 60 ha of vineyard made up of just two grape varieties: Castelão and Fernão Pires, located in Fernando Pó in the region of Palmela. Seeking to innovate and make improvements, she made the decision to introduce a much wider range of grape varieties, which included Trincadeira, Touriga Nacional, Aragonês, Syrah, and Alicante Bouschet, and others.

Ermelinda Freitas currently owns 440 hectares of vineyard, 60% of them planted with the Castelão variety (known in the area of Palmela as "Periquita"), 30% made up of red varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira, Syrah, Aragonês, Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Franca, Merlot and Petit Verdot, and 10% of white varieties such as Fernão Pires, Chardonnay, Arinto, Verdelho, Sauvignon Blanc and Moscatel de Setúbal.

This is an extraordinary location for producing wines, and some of the best wines of this region are produced here.

S etubal Peninsula region

The wine region Península de Setúbal also includes a large coastal chunk of the administrative region (as opposed to the wine region) of Alentejo.

The Vinho Regional was recently renamed Península de Setúbal. (it was formerly called ‘Terras do Sado’ after the River Sado that flows through the southern part of the region). There are two DOCs, Setúbal and Palmela. Setúbal is sweet and fortified, made primarily from the Muscat of Alexandria grape. It can be labelled Moscatel de Setúbal when Muscat makes up more than 85 per cent of the blend.

Castello d’Alba

Owner Rui Roboredo Madeira Winemaker Rui Roboredo Madeira

Founded in 2000

Located in Douro Valley

This wine is produced in Madeira's winery in Sar Joao da Pesqueira, from a selection of grapes from the best vineyards in the Upper Douro. Castello d’Alba was the first wine he produced in 2000—and he has always wanted it to reflect his experiences and vision of a new Douro, putting together cutting edge winemaking with native grape varieties, creating its own modern and innovative style.

Castello d’Alba emerges from the new wave that has transformed this region forever—at least as it was once known. Today, it is one of Douro’s leading brands, and is featured in the best restaurants and hotels.

DOURO Region

This wild and beautiful part of northern Portugal offers extraordinarily good conditions for wine grapes on the steeply shelved slopes of the River Douro, hill after hill stretching off to the horizon with narrow roads winding around their contours. Here, the vine terraces bask in the sun that provides ideal climatic conditions, heating the pure schist and granite soil that is typical within this region. Life is not so easy for Douro winegrowers though; the vine roots are forced down between layers of rock seeking out the limited water, while schist absorbs and then radiates heat. For centuries, Douro growers have been supplying an eager world with Port. Now wine experts the world over recognize that the Douro region also offers ideal conditions for making unfortified wines of the highest quality, both red and white. Producers here are crafting stunning and highly distinctive wines that rank amongst Portugal’s most intense and complex.

Grapes are hand picked, and fully-destemmed, followed by crushing and cooling. Fermentation in 18 ton vats, with maceration at a temperature around 26ºC. Intense and prolonged maceration and part of the malolactic fermentation were made in French oak barrels.

Aging 10 months in new and used French oak

Tasting Notes Very elegant and refined, a modern style that fully preserves the soul of the Douro’s native grape varieties. The aroma harmoniously blends the concentration of Douro Superior reds in all their complexity. Berries, hints of rock rose, spices, exuberant violets and extremely fresh notes of basil and bergamot. The long maturation in barrels produced a wine with great aromatic elegance, where the scents of the Douro are not masked by excessive notes of oak. Very smooth and ripe tannins, fresh and aromatic, very elegant, long finish.

Quinta da Cassa is undeniably a supreme estate: it is located at the heart of the Upper Douro, on the River’s left bank, among grade “A” vineyards where the best vintage port wines are born.

With an average altitude of 150 meters, in the schist soil overlooking the river, terraced vineyards mainly north/ west, where the best grape varieties of the Douro are planted, such as Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca or Touriga Nacional.

NOTES

B eyra Wines

Owner Rui Roboredo Madeira Winemaker Rui Roboredo Madeira

Founded in 2011

Located in DOC Beira Interior

In 2011 I returned to the same winery where in 1987 I worked my first harvest, a small winery located in the village of Vermiosa, between the cold and in the highest vineyards in Portugal. I rehabilitated the property, because I believed that this region's winemaking heritage is one of the most hidden treasures of Portuguese wines: old vines of native grape varieties perfectly adapted to the rugged climate caused by the high altitude, along with the soil, where many veins of quartz run through the schist and granite. Through Beyra wines, I seek the Beira Interior's identity: wines of great complexity resulting from the combination of aromatic intensity, minerality and freshness.

B eira interior region

The climate is seriously continental, hot and dry in summer, but with very cold, long winters. In the summer and autumn heat, alcohol levels can shoot up before tannins are fully ripened, but with care and skill, good, balanced wines can be made.

Ripening is easier in the southern sub-region, Cova da Beira, whose exclusive local white grape, Fonte Cal, can make rich, honeyed wines with steely acidity. Other white varieties include Arinto, Malvasia Fina, Rabo de Ovelha and Síria.

The main red varieties are Bastardo, Marufo, Rufete, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Nacional. Many vines are old—a plus for quality, meaning small yields and potentially greater concentration in the grapes.

Founded in 1996

Located in Douro Valley Region

Acreage 15 acres under vine

Founded as a Port Wine company in the early 17th century, showing relations to Port wine merchants dating back to the 1600’s. With nearly 400 years of experience and 15 generations, we have acquired deep knowledge that enables us to craft some of the world’s most exceptional Ports. We are excited to relaunch Van Zellers & Co with a new image, philosophy, and range of wines.

We dedicate ourselves each day to the meticulous handcraftsmanship. Respect for the Douro’s heritage, diversity, expression, tradition, and people is what keeps us in this business. For us, Port can be expressed in three different categories – wines that have been crafted by hand, crafted by time, and crafted by nature. These factors are mainly responsible for the creation of such diversity in the different styles, flavors, textures, and complexity behind our Port wine. It’s through our craftsmanship, knowledge, time, and the magic behind nature that we transform our Port wine.

Grape Varieties 80 year old field blends of over 40 different indigenous grape varieties.

Vinification Grapes are destalked, and foot trodden in lagares (open air tanks) for 2 days, at a temperature between 16–18°C before fermentation starts, and then fermented in the same lagares(50% of total) and in stainless steel vats (50% of total) with a capacity of 5,000Kgs, for about 8 days, at temperatures kept between 20–26°C. The grapes used for CV—Curriculum Vitae come from plots in our vineyards in the river Torto which have been chosen after many years of experiencing their incredible high quality results. Predominantly north facing, these very old vineyards, with more than 80 years, produce grapes with great freshness and concentration, normally averaging 14.5° Baumé.

Aging New (75%) and one-year-old (25%) French oak casks, for about 21 months.

Tasting Notes Incredibly deep violet, dark red and purple colors, with a very high concentration of mature dark red fruit aromas, black cherries and plums. The aging in new oak casks concentrates the mature tannins and helps smooth the wine’s power, resulting in a very elegant wine with great balance and finesse and a long, fruity finish.

Winemaker Nuno Cancela de Abreu

Founded in 19th Century

Located in Dão

Acreage 12 Hectares

Nuno Cancela de Abreu was born into a family with over 130 years of farming tradition, in a property located in the wine region of Dão. Nuno is representative of the 4th generation of the Cancela de Abreu family. Despite his high academic background, the influence of his family was the key element in pursuing a career in winemaking.

It was in the harvest of 2010 that he decided to dedicate all his experience in viticulture and winemaking exclusively to the Boas Quintas project in order to develop it in a sustainable way. In 1991, a new vineyard was planted and the brands "Quinta da fonte do Ouro" and "Quinta da Giesta" were born. Nuno is always striving for initiatives that will allow him to create high quality wines with distinctive character and personality.

DÃo Region

Dão is situated in the Região Demarcada do Dão with the Dão-Lafõessub region of the Centro, Portugal. It is one of the oldest established wine regions in Portugal. Dão wine is produced in a mountainous region with a temperate climate, in the area of the Rio Mondego and Dão rivers in the north central region of Portugal. The region became a Denominação de Origem Controlada (DOC) appellation in 1990. The Dão region is the origin of the Touriga Nacional vine that is the principal component of Porto wine

Vinification Skin contact in the press aromatically enriches the wine. After pressing, the clear juice ferments at 14ºC during 30–40 days in stainless tanks very slowly to keep all the aromas in the wine. Batonage twice a week in the barrels adds volume and complexity to the wine. The wine is then fined, filtered and bottled.

Aging Stainless steel vats

Tasting Notes Green color, very aromatic where apple, pear and tropical fruit stand out. On the palate, the wine is fresh with pleasant minerality, with white and yellow fruit, good structure, and volume. The finish is persistent and fresh. Goes well as a starter with seafood and grilled fish.

Adega Cooperativa da Ilha do Pico

Making wines in Azores is a privilege for any winemaker. Not only due to the fact that the grapes have a huge quality and are definitely unique as well as the wines, but also due to the responsibility to transform this preciousness into wine.

Planted in the middle of the ocean with a massive volcano, Pico island vineyards are a result from all those strong influences, protected by stone walls called currais made since centuries. It is my duty and path to respect all this incredible terroir and to taste it in every single bottle of wine that we produce.

Pico Island Region

Pico’s grape production areas are concentrated in the municipality of Madalena, in a village with the same name, in Candelária, Criação Velha and Bandeiras. All areas that sit at an altitude of 100 meters or less. In the municipality of São Roque, the village of Santa Luzia also hosts some vineyards.

Viticulture in Pico is definitely on the edge! Pico island´s vineyards are in extreme conditions, very close to the sea and planted on the fissures of the mother-stone in volcanic soil, challenging the very definition of it. The unusual sea proximity, between 50 and 300 meters, sprays the vineyards with salt. The sea works its way from underneath, blending with the rain´s freshwater in a combination of brackish water where the vineyards´ roots drink from. The influence from the mountain and the clouds that usually gather around it, led men to plant their vineyards so close to the sea one may hear “the crabs singing”. The stone walled currais, built by men around 500 years and classified by UNESCO, since 2004, as a World Heritage Site, are meant to protect the vineyards from the maritime wind and salt while creating a warmer microclimate for the plants.
