For those who are not familiar with Portuguese wines, choosing one can be quite complicated! After all, we are talking about indigenous grape varieties that are practically unknown in the rest of the world, and from various unusual regions, such as Trás-os-Montes, Beira Interior or Távora-Varosa.
Therefore, we understand that those visiting our website for the first time (with over 11,000 references available) may find it difficult to decide which wine to choose. So, today we have decided to leave you with some suggestions for very affordable wines of excellent quality that will be the perfect companion for autumn days.
We begin by suggesting Dona Matilde Red (9.34 + VAT), produced from old vines with traditional grape varieties from the Douro Demarcated Region, where Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Amarela predominate. Velvety, but with plenty of structure and volume and a very long finish. A wine that has already won awards (in different vintages) such as 91 points from Wine Enthusiast, 92 points from James Suckling and a Gold Medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards.
If you enjoy a good white wine even on cooler days, try Burmester Ensaio nº1 (9.16 + VAT). An Alvarinho (65%) and Sercial (35%) blend. This wine stands out for its fruity and elegant aromas, characteristic of the Alvarinho grape variety. It also has a freshness and sensation of wet stone, coming from the Sercial grape variety, with some notes of salinity that complement it. Not to be missed!
For more special suggestions, take a look at our selection today and savour autumn in the company of a beautiful Portuguese wine.
