Portugal
Nestled between Spain and the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal has carved a niche for itself in the wine world by championing its indigenous grape varieties rather than following fashion and planting international ones. Touriga Nacional, principally grown in the Douro for both Port and table wines is perhaps the countries most important red grape. The deeply coloured reds from Alicante Bouschet, the lighter, perfumed Jaen (known as Mencia in Spain), Baga in Bairrada and Tinto Roriz grow in vineyards up and down the country from Dao to the Alentejo, are all making distinctive wines which are gaining in popularity with each vintage. Portugal is also home to some intriguing white wines too. From the damp and cool vineyards of Minho which is Vinho Verde country to the warmer climates further south, one can find complex, exciting white wines made from Sercial, Viosinho, Fernao Pires and Gouveio. Undoubtedly, the fortified wines of Oporto, or Port as we brits know it, are Portugal’s most famous vinuous export and the long standing trading history between Britain and Portugal led to the establishment of many British owned Port houses which are still major players today. The likes of Taylors, Grahams and Smith & Woodhouse are still vital to the Port trade but we must also condsider the smaller, less well known houses who produce amazing wines which can sometimes come under the radar. Quinta Gaivosa, Niepoort and Quinta Eirados to name a few, all produce wonderfully crafted fortified and table wines that provide wonderful drinking. All in all, Portuguese wines, whether fortified or not, provide the adventurous drinker with plenty to get excited about.

Rainwater Reserva, Barbeito, Madeira
Verdelho
This blend of 80% Tinta Negra and 20% Verdelho is aged in cask for 5 years naturally, without the addition of caramel and is designed to mimic the 'Rainwater Style' of Madeira. The origins of this style are ambiguous, (depending on who you speak to), but it is thought to derive from when the barrels were left outside and the wine inside took on a particular characteristic having been lashed by the Atlantic rains. What we can be certain of is that this is a stunning style medium dry Madeira that has complex flavours of almonds, caramel, nuts and candied fruits. The finish is long and balanced with terrific acidity.
