Portugal
Portugal counts among the most exciting wine countries in Europe. World-famous are Port and Madeira, especially from the spectacular Douro Valley, which more than 250 years ago was defined as the first protected wine origin in Europe and is today a UNESCO World Heritage site. Alongside powerful red wines from Touriga Nacional, fresh whites such as Vinho Verde are produced. An Atlantic climate, varied soils and indigenous grape varieties shape the diversity of Portugal’s wines.
