# The Wines of Portugal

**For the wine enthusiast and traveler, a guide to the vibrant wine culture, vineyards, and current viticulture practices of Portugal**  
  
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 – Atlantic, mountains, plains and islands – 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, Dão and Lisbon to the big, bold reds of the Alentejo and newcomers from the Algarve, this book is an up-to-date appraisal of Portugal’s vineyards and wine producers.  
• Captures the changes in Portuguese wine that have taken place over the five years since the previous edition was published.  
• Thoroughly updated producer entries with more wines tasted.  
• Expansion of the section on Azores wines, reflecting the recent rapid revival of winemaking here, as well as its popularity as a tourist destination.  
• Richard Mayson is a series editor for The Classic Wine Library and the first edition of this book is among the series’ best-sellers.  
• New color maps make navigating the wine landscape easier; also contains color photos.
