Red wines are still the wines of choice for most wine enthusiasts, despite the growing demand for white wines.
For a wine lover, reds are undoubtedly the most striking style in the various stages of a sensorial tasting and are also the ones that have the greatest impact when harmonized with food.
That's why we all need to have a good stock of wines in our wine cellar, because there are more and more different wine profiles, and that specific wine isn't always going to be the perfect choice when we're hosting someone or for that specific dish.
As well as different wine profiles, there are also certain characteristics according to the region they come from. In the north of Portugal, the wines are more classic in style, where blends of native grape varieties predominate, with Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca being the most popular. In the south of the country, on the other hand, the wines are more fruity in style and usually have a higher alcohol content, due to the grape varieties used, whether Castelão in Setúbal and Tejo, Aragonêz and Alicante Bouschet in Alentejo or even the international varieties in practically all the regions south of the Tejo, but above all due to the climate.
Although Portugal is a relatively small country, there is a big difference in the temperature range between the north and south of the country, and there is also the coastal area where the Atlantic climate is felt, while the inland areas, protected by the mountains, have a more continental climate.
All together, from north to south, and from the coast to the interior of Portugal, you'll find wines that are very different in profile, but above all great wines in all the wine regions.
