Today we are focusing our attention on Portuguese brandies, and if you are not yet familiar with them, this could be the perfect opportunity!
In our Christmas Specials section, you will find a wide selection carefully curated by our team, which is sure to be the icing on the cake this Christmas.
We begin by suggesting the famous wine brandies. Did you know that Portugal has an exclusive DOC region for the production of wine brandy? The DOC region of Lourinhã came about after its superior quality was tested and confirmed, which is only matched at European level by French spirits from the Cognac and Armagnac regions.
Another classic in Portugal is bagaceira brandies. These are produced from the distillation of grape pomace, which is the solid residue (skins and seeds) left over after pressing the grapes for wine production. They stand out for their intense and expressive pomace aromas, reminiscent of crystallised fruit.
Finally, our traditional arbutus brandy! A traditional fruit brandy made from the fruit of the Medronheiro tree, typical of the Algarve mountains in Portugal. With its fruity and sweet notes, it is absolutely unmissable!
If you are looking for something sophisticated for this Christmas, full of tradition and with a touch of exclusivity, portuguese brandies are the ideal choice. They are true gems that will delight both experienced connoisseurs and those who wish to explore new flavours. Here are some suggestions for Christmas gifts.
