"Portugal has many autochthones grape varieties, red and whites.
White varieties are very interesting, with very different characters, but SYRIA also cold Códega do Larinho is fantastic, with citrons aromas of tangerine and orange.

Lara Lewis replied to Sture Linden's discussion What do women look for in a Rosé Wine? Could it also be sparkling or somewhat fizzy?"I enjoy rose champagne and prefer it to a blanc champagne because it tends to have a little more structure and tannin because of the skin contact and the greater amounts of pinot noir as opposed to chardonnay.
In still wines, I like crisp,…"
Lara Lewis replied to Patricia Appelquist's discussion When is too much variety too much?"Usually in party settings people consume one glass every half hour, so I would say that in two hours each guest would consume 4 glasses or a little less than a bottle. Figure 100 bottles of wine."

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.”
All the best
