Portugal wine tasting at City Winery
April 21, 2009 from 6pm to 8pm
Portugal has a long tradition in winemaking; the history of producing wine predates the foundation of Portugal in 1129. Portuguese wine comes from vineyards that are planted from the north to the south and although Portugal is a small country, it has a great variety of soils and indigenous grape varieties, this allows a great diversity of wines. At the present time, the world, seem to prefer native varietals which are less known, like Touriga Nacional for red wines or Verdelho for white wines…See More

- Olá João,
Firstly, happy new year!
I have a question to you on the reasoning behind some Portughese reds stopping malolactic fermentation. A guide of red wines, that were tested at a consumer magazine over in your country, detected that about half had not concluded the malolactic fermentation. That... they hinted... was done intentionally to meet some criteria (prevent too much acidity, or other things), so they admitted... for some reason... it was stopped. As this malo is a natural process, to intervene often means either chill filtering, sulfur, acidifying ( in order to lower high pH), and so on. Any thoughts or enlightenment you can provide us on this side of the pond as to why, how etc.?
Best, Susannah
