Portugal has many autochthones grape varieties, red and whites.

I'm interested in Gruner both making and drinking but don't know a lot about it.
Can you enlighten me?
I heard it wants to take off during fermentation and needs to be watched closely.
Then again, I prefer old world as opposed to…"

Kevin Murphy posted a discussionSeeking Las Vegas distribution for esoteric wines
As a small importer in NY, our wines require a specialized sales forece and we have found it challenging to identify small distributors in Nevada. It seems most have been consolidated by one of the two major national players. However, as our wines are sold in major East Coast and Southern restaurants, many of which have "sister" properties in Vegas, there may be a good market for these products. Does anyone know of a smaller, focused distributor in that state?

White varieties are very interesting, with very different characters, but SYRIA also called Códega do Larinho is fantastic, with citrons aromas of tangerine and orange.
Portugal Dão region has the most gastronomic wines: fresh, intense, elegant with very nice acidity, made with autochthonous grapes from very particularly varieties.
Just try.
I am a producer in Portuguese Dão region, and I suggest you to taste an old Dão.
Just see what Paul White Thinks about as:
“So far, Portugal has managed to remain true to its traditions, while at the same time offering up a huge range of distinctive grape varieties and unusual wine styles precisely when many of us are tiring of endless New World makeovers of French varietals.
Dao has a lot going for it in that respect: first rate grape varieties firmly rooted in granite-based ‘terroir’ that sparkles back like diamonds, all this shaped by a growing season that’s relatively gentler and longer than other Portuguese regions. Although relatively unknown and sometimes tricky to pronounce, Dao’s red wines offer consumers genuinely new and exciting tasting experiences.”
Visit please our web-site, for now it’s just in Portuguese, but to see photos you don’t need any translation: www.quintadaboavista.eu
Hope to hear from you soon.
