PORTUGAL
Portugal is mostly famous for the fortified wine Port, but are increasingly becoming
known for their dry red wines made from their indigenous grape variety Touriga
Nacional. Tawny ports, named after their tawny colour, are aged in barrels for a very
long time to give aromas of walnuts, coffee and caramel. Vintage ports are amongst
the longest-lived wines and have more dark fruit and spice aromas. These often
require decanting to remove the sediment.
SPAIN
Spain has a long wine history and is the 3 rd largest producer in the world. The finest
wines are produced in Rioja, Ribera del Duero and Priorat. Probably the most wellknown
is Rioja, producing oaky reds from the Tempranillo grape. Priorat is a new
fashionable region, growing the grape Garnacha (Grenache) to create dark, alcoholic,
concentrated wines and a wine from here known as L’Ermita now ranks amongst
one of the best Spanish wines. Ribera del Duero uses Tempranillo and is home to the
famous producers called Pingus and Vega Sicilia.

near the town Langenlois. He is mostly famous for his Rieslings and Grüner
Veltliners (the indigenous grape of Austria). The wines tend to be rich,
complex aromatic with a firm structure and crisp acidity. The best site is the
