A behind-the-scenes look at a popular Portuguese wine brand
It’s cliché to say we live in a golden age of wine because there has never been such a wide array of well-made, enjoyable bottles that are relatively affordable, too, despite the level of tax we pay in the country. Cheap and cheerful wines, with reliably fruity characters, are widely available wherever alcohol is sold.
There’s also been a wave of technological developments that help winemakers elevate the quality of their wine. Various pieces of equipment can assist winemaking teams during production, by reducing astringency and other bitter elements to make for a more supple and appealing style. Depending on the brand and the location where the grapes are coming from, winemakers have myriad options available.
“We work a lot with technology, instead of adding other things to the wine to make them more commercial,” explains Mauro Azoia, winemaker for Portugal’s Vidigal Wines, which producers the popular Porta 6 and Júlia Florista brands. A blend of native Portugese grape varieties, namely aragonez , castelao and touriga nacional, Porta 6 has long been a standout on the quality for price ratio. Azoia explains the consistent quality starts with partnerships with local grape growers which means he has access to around 450 hectares of vineyards across the extensive Vinho Regional Lisboa area.
