Deep juicy red from the arid dry Alentejo region in the south of Portugal, a climate that Syrah loves and adores, giving its best depths of dark fruit flavours and smooth powerful tannins. This dry Portuguese red has body to burn and rich flavours to impress with hints of dried red berries, ripe plums and even notes of stewed fruit. 

This is massively good value for money and comes from the family owned Casa Santos Lima winery.

Vinho Verde is Portuguese for green wine and is a refreshingly crisp dry white blend from the northernmost region of Portugal. This lively, zingy little number has the refreshing acidity of Alvarinho (also known as Albarino), the juicy citrus flavours of Arinto and the body of Trajadura, along with its beautiful lemon blossom aromas. Other grapes in this blend include Azal, Avesso and Loureiro.

Altogether, this quirky Portuguese white blend tallies up to a super drinkable, intensely fresh dry white with aromatic appeal and lightness adding year-round drinkability.

Tasting Notes
With a bright and citrus colour, this is a wine full of tropical aromas. In the mouth it shows a good natural acidity, great balance and structure and a pleasant persistency. It is an excellent choice to serve with salads, fish, sushi and seafood.

Churchill Grafite is a great red from a great Portuguese wine producer. It's a blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz (the Portuguese name for Tempranillo), which combine to make a dry, deeply coloured and full bodied wine. Spicy notes add complexity to the layers of ripe blackberry, dark plum and cedar aromas in this fab red wine. Bring on the cold nights. This wine is ideal for them. 

Extremely fresh wine, with red fruit notes, such as raspberries and strawberries. In the palate, it is light, flavourful, full of fruity notes well combined with an agreeable freshness, and a very pleasant aftertaste.

A very Mineral expression of two grapes from the upper Duoro Valley: 

Rabogato a local variety, meaning cats tail, comprising nearly 80% of the wine offers an enticing bouquet of citrus, acacia, stone fruit, and minerals, with a salt-licked finish.

& Viosinho another local variety which tastes somewhere between Chenin Blanc & Gruner Veltliner. The golden apple, greengage plum & Beeswax from Chenin meets the white pepper finish of Gruner.

20% of this wine is fermented in Barrel & the rest in stainless steel gives this wine texture as well as fresh acidity & great minerality.

Confidencial is a taste combination of classic native Portuguese grapes Touriga Nacional (aka queen of Portuguese reds) with the better French red grapes, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. These three powerful red grapes each adds oomph and power to this wine, providing it with a full body, dry flavours and earthy complexity. 

We think that Confidencial offers great value for money and has layers of flavours, which will improve over time in the bottle, but also drink incredibly well right now. Decant and serve in your best big wine glass. 

Portugal is the most western country in Europe and home to a diverse range of wines from crisp dry whites in the maritime north to full bodied reds from the hot south, with many delicious variations in between. 

Delish dark red from Portugal with amazing rich soft flavours that provide great drinking for the price - and even if it cost a lot more. The four indigenous Portuguese grapes in this wine are Touriga Nacional, Tinta Miúda, Camarate and Castelão; each contributes colour, smoothness and ripe plum flavours underpinned by a smoky spicy note adding complexity. 

Stunning medium bodied dry white made from Portugal's delicious Alvarinho grape, best known and loved for its lovely lemon flavours and refreshing depths of dry, savoury aroma notes. 

This is an excellent example of a great white to drink with seafood, fresh or dried. 

About Alvarinho

The hallmark of Alvarinho is its high acidity, which provides this wine with its innate and deliciously succulent freshness - something this tasty little white has in spades. It's medium bodied and totally dry with great character. Portuguese wines are on trend globally, thanks to the discovery of the country's vast range of interesting indigenous grape varieties, mostly red but with increasing volumes of great whites too, such as this wine, which is produced by Casa Santos Lima. This large family owned winery makes a vast range of wines in Portugal and we stock a fascinating and delicious selection here at Regional.
