| book description |

A revolution has been taking place in the vineyards and wineries of Portugal during the last twenty-five years, bringing hundreds of new wines, many from indigenous grapes, onto the international market. Previously thought of as a producer of mainly red wine, Portugal is now proving it can make world-class white wines too. In order to examine the terroirs that make this small but varied country so unique The Wines of Portugal divides the country into four areas â€“ Atlantic, mountains, plains and islands â€“ providing detailed descriptions of the demarcated wine regions, the growers and the wines they produce. From crisp Vinhos Verdes in the Atlantic north-west through the Douro, DÃ£o and Lisbon to the big, bold reds of the Alentejo and newcomers from the Algarve, this book is an up-to-date appraisal of Portugalâ€™s vineyards and wine producers. â€¢ Captures the changes in Portuguese wine that have taken place over the five years since the previous edition was published. â€¢ Thoroughly updated producer entries with more wines tasted. â€¢ Expansion of the section on Azores wines, reflecting the recent rapid revival of winemaking here, as well as its popularity as a tourist destination. â€¢ Richard Mayson is a series editor for The Classic Wine Library and the first edition of this book is among the seriesâ€™ best-sellers. â€¢ New colour maps make navigating the wine landscape easier; also contains colour photos.
