Hi Kimberly,
Welcome to Wine2.0
Portugal has many autochthones grape varieties, red and whites.
White varieties are very interesting, with very different characters, but SYRIA also called Códega do Larinho is fantastic, with citrons aromas…
I'm a wine industry PR pro whose time in the biz is too long to publish. That being said, I keep a fresh perspective on trends and have my own PR firm that helps companies position themselves strategically. I also taste about 1500 wines a year in wine competition judging alone!
Welcome to Wine2.0
Portugal has many autochthones grape varieties, red and whites.
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.”

Cornelius sounds like a good plan all around. Which winery profiles do you think have been set up well? I'm meeting Mark West tomorrow and want to get them more involved in 2.0 as others. Thanks!
Hi Kim - Thanks for setting up a profile. Feel free to add in any photos or have your clients setup profiles, we'd love to have them. I am back in SF after Wine 2.0 New York, we should get together with a small gang for some drinks.
